Jaipur's most famous landmark, built in 1799, by Maharaja Sawai Pratap
Singh the Hawa Mahal or the
Palace of the Winds, a fantasia of 953 ornated windows set in a
rose-colored five storey facade. The palace has tier upon tier of curved
arch surmounting fairy casements with "jali" - lattice work screens.
From here the ladies of the court could look out at festive processions
without jeopardizing their modest seclusion. Timings :- (10.00 am to 5.00 pm)
