https://www.docdroid.net/aj3yYwK/hawa-mahal-jaipur-holidaykeyscouk.pdf.html Hawa Mahal is a palace in Jaipur, India, so named because it was essentially a high screen wall built so the women of the royal household could observe street festivals while unseen from the outside. Constructed of red and pink sandstone, the palace sits on the edge of the City Palace, and extends to the zenana (women’s chambers). Its unique five-storey exterior is akin to the honeycomb of a beehive with its 953 small windows called jharokhas decorated with intricate latticework.This unique structure built in red and pink coloured sand stones. |
