Hawa Mahal, Jaipur

In the heart of Jaipur, Hawa Mahal, also known as the “Palace of Winds,” is a famous attraction in Rajasthan. Maharaja Sawai Pratap Singh built it in 1799. Its unique five-story façade features 953 small windows, known as jharokhas.

These windows let royal women watch street life without being seen. The pink sandstone building showcases Rajput architecture, making it popular with photography and history fans. Inside, one can walk through the small corridors and take in the panoramic views of the busy city streets below.

The palace’s innovative design allows cool air to flow naturally, creating a pleasant breeze even in the summer. A visit to Hawa Mahal is an essential part of a Rajasthan tour focused on cultural heritage and architectural marvels.
