Museum in Karachi, Pakistan
Qasr-e-Fatima, also known as the Mohatta Palace, is a museum. Designed by Ahmed Hussain Agha, the palace was built in 1927 in the affluent seaside suburb of Clifton as the summer home of Shivratan Mohatta, a Hindu Marwari businessman from what is now the modern-day Indian state of Rajasthan. The palace was built in the tradition of stone palaces of Rajasthan, using pink Jodhpur stone in combination with the local yellow stone from nearby Gizri. Mohatta could enjoy this building for only about two decades before the partition of India, after which he left Karachi for the new state of India.
