The Mohatta Palace is located in Karachi , Sindh , Pakistan . It was built by Shivratan Chandraratan Mohatta , a Hindu Marwari businessman from modern day Rajasthan in India , as his summer home in 1927. The architect of the palace was Agha Ahmed Hussain. However, Mohatta could enjoy this building for only about two decades before the independence , after which he left Karachi for India. He built the Palace in the tradition of stone palaces in Rajasthan , using pink Jodhpur stone in combination with the local yellow stone from Gizri. The amalgam gave the palace a distinctive presence in an elegant neighbourhood, characterised by Indo-Saracenic architecture which was located not far from the sea.
