Overview

Jaipur s most famous landmark is the Palace of the Winds or Hawa Mahal, a fantasia of 1953 ornate of windows set in a rose-colored five storey facade. The palace , 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. Near Jantar Mantar stands the Palace of Winds, more commonly known as the Hawa Mahal, welcoming the onlookers. The 500 windows are reminiscent of the furtive glances of royal women who had resigned themselves to a veiled existence within the havelis. Entry is Rs 2 and Rs 30 extra for a still camera and Rs 70 extra for a video camera.
