Hawa Mahal, Palace of Winds. Jaipur

Hawa Mahal is a major tourist attraction of Jaipur, the capital Rajasthan. Hawa Mahal is also known as Palace of Winds. Hawa Mahal is a pyramid-shaped facade with five stories. It has 953 small windows decorated with tiny lattice work. These pink sandstone windows commonly known as "Jharokhas" are constructed in such a style, that it looks like a giant honeycomb. The air circulation through windows represents the marvelous touch of Mughal designing, which keeps the Palace always cool. The small screened balconies and arched roofs with hanging cornices enhance the beauty of the Palace. The Pyramidal outline and replication of pattern makes it more attractive in appearance.
अग्रिम की हवाओं के पैलेस पारित की, यह तो कहीं भी जयपुर में की तुलना में, और नहीं पवन, शायद हाँ या भी करने के लिए मैं क्या पता के समान है न्याय नहीं कर सकते. लेकिन एक चतुर संरचना.
As a matter of fact, Hawa Mahal is believed to build for the women of the Royal Families, since they had to observe strict "purdah" (cover). The small windows and screened balconies serve the women to watch processions and different activities taking place on the streets. In this manner, the women could enjoy a sense of freedom without showing themselves.Jaipur, India.

@takenpur its individuals like you who contaminate the world with their polluted, narrow , primitive minds...maybe it was your breath, that you could smell and not the moslem quarters???your thoughts stink dats for sure..

[takenpur]

India is full of wonderful sights and smells and the only stench I vivedly remember was walking through the Muslim quarters in Dehli, the deathly stench of butchered animals and many of the faces seemed mean. This as experienced was in direct contrast to the real India.
