The name Taveli is a corrupt form of "Tavela" which literally means "Stable". The building was thus a "stables block" or mansion since its ground-floor was used for the stables, the apartments in the two upper storeys being meant for the accommodation of the guards. This is easily explained by the fact that a gateway is seen close to the Royal enclave. The terrace of the Taveli- Mahal commands a beautiful view of the surrounding country. Presently, the building is partly used as a Rest House for the use of visitors. The first floor houses a museum also.
