Hawa Mahal


Hawa Mahal,Jaipur, Rajasthan.
Built in 1799 by Maharaja Pratap Singh, the Hawa Mahal was for the exclusive use of the Royal Rajputana women to observe the day to day on-goings in the street below. This momument has more than 900 windows and is so designed that a cool breeze flows through it all around the calendar, coining it with its name.
