The façade is divided into two sections, with the portion housing the haveli's entryway profusely decorated with frescoes painted in the vivid Kangra style,[2] and the other pierced with numerous windows.

[9] A large jharoka balcony with sculpted brickwork and a small bulbous half dome is above the haveli's entry,[3] which acted as a Jharoka-e-Darshan from which the Maharaja could view his subjects gathered below.

[3] The jharoka features 5 small arches, and is embellished imagery of winged humans, parrots, and frontally-viewed fish that are carved in a style which displays East Asian influences.

[2] The remaining floors were built with high ceilings, to exaggerate the height of the structure in order to give the appearance of a citadel, rather than a private residence.

[7] The ceilings of the haveli are made of decorated wood inlaid with glass and mirror, as well as sun-motifs in the central portion of the roof.
