Hawa Mahal - Palace of Wind
Perhaps Jaipur’s most iconic landmark, the Hawa Mahal is a five-story pink sandstone palace with over 900 intricately carved windows (jharokhas). Built in 1799 by Maharaja Sawai Pratap Singh, it allowed royal women to observe street processions without being seen, in line with the traditions of the time. The honeycomb-like façade resembles a delicate screen, and its unique design allows cool breezes to pass through, giving the palace its name – “Palace of Winds.” This is a photo stop and a must-see highlight of the Pink City.
