| Hawa Mahal, Jaipur (Rajasthan) |
Hawa Mahal is a palace in Jaipur, India. It was built
by Maharaja Sawai Pratap Singh in 1798 and designed by Lal
Chand Ustad in the form of the crown of Krishna, the Hindu god. Its unique
five-storey exterior is also akin to the honeycomb of the beehive with its 953
small windows called jharokhas that are decorated with intricate latticework.
It is a part of City Palace complex. Jaipur is known as the pink city,
there are many exciting places, which attracts a lot of people. The original
intention of the lattice was to allow royal ladies to observe everyday life in
the street below without being seen, since they had to observe strict
"purdah" (face cover). Besides this, the lattice also provides cool
air caused by the Venturi effect (doctor breeze) through the intricate
pattern and thereby air conditioning the whole area during the high
temperatures in summers. Motifs and carvings designed on the walls of the Hawa
Mahal are proof of the efforts, dedication and skillfulness of the artists of
that period. Near Hawa Mahal, you have Hawa Mahal Museum.
