[5] The palace was built by a Sikh spiritual and political leader who was the direct descendant, in the fourteenth place, of Guru Nanak, Baba Khem Singh Bedi[6] in the later half of the 19th century.

[1] He earned funds from serving the British in the colonial service and helping them crush the 1857 rebellion and local uprisings, he used the money to open over 50 schools in Rawalpindi district whilst a remainder was used to constructed the Bedi Mahal.

[9] A few notable ones include depictions of the 9th Sikh Guru, Tegh Bahadur, and the Golden Temple of Amritsar.

Constructed with ashlar masonry walls bonded with lime and jute fiber mortar, the haveli's structure is robust, despite decay in its wooden components, suggesting potential for future restoration.
