Hawa Mahal
Also known as "The Place of Winds" or "the Palace of Breeze", Hawa Mahal is one of the main attractions of Jaipur. Built in the year 1799 by Raja Sawai Pratap Singh, the palace served as the windows of royal ladies to observe daily activities or viewing processions without being seen. The palace's unique five-storey exterior is akin to the honeycomb of a beehive and is also designed by Lal Chand Usta in the form of the crown of Lord Krishna. The portico of the palace has semi-octagonal suspended windows with perforated screens, curved and wavy roofs, domes and finials. The most interesting part is that as compared to the elaborate exteriors, the inside of the palace is very simple.
