The pink Hawa Mahal, the Palace of the Winds, is one of the more amazing pieces of architecture in a country full of amazing architecture.
The exterior resembles an elaborate pink wedding cake, the building honeycombed with pierced windows that allow the breezes to keep the palace cool in the hot Indian summers, and also allow the haram trapped inside to peer out at the street without being seen. The view of the palace from the other side.
The Elaborately Decorated Interior.
The Stained Glass.
I’ve done a whole post just on the beauty of the stained glass windows.
I have been dying to see Hawa Mahal, missed it last time 😦
Certainly it was spectacular on the eyes like most of Jaipur – a place worth visiting more than once!
Looks an incredible place
It was very beautiful but my record of it is in pictures only – I didn’t write a word about it in my travel journal…
Shame…
