Hawa Mahal

Hawa Mahal, also known as the Palace of Winds, is a five-story pink sandstone structure
featuring hundreds of small windows and latticework. Built for royal women to observe
street life without being seen, the façade’s intricate design allows breezes to circulate
through the palace, keeping it cool in the desert climate. Photographers and history
enthusiasts enjoy the striking exterior and its significance in Jaipur’s urban landscape.
