Description

Jaipur’s most prominent landmark, the Hawa Mahal is an extraordinary and awe inspiring sight in the popular tourist destination famously known as the Pink City. This intricate, pink sandstone building, also known as the Palace of Winds due to its numerous windows, 953 to be exact, was built in 1799. The 5 storey building with its plethora of small windows allows wind to flow through the openings, giving the palace its name. Hawa Mahal is a great place for people watching and legend has it that the pyramid shaped facade was built so that the women of the royal household could view the daily activities in the lively and busy streets below, without being observed. Located in the heart of the city, at the edge of the City Palace complex, the palace offers visitors stunning views of Jantar Mantar, City Palace and the rest of the old city. The building also houses a small archaeological museum.
