The special architectural style of the Hawa Mahal gives the impression of a light and breezy facade that is built to give the impression of a light curtain that looks like as though it could vanish any moment. The brilliantly crafted Jharokas of the Hawa Mahal located on the City Palace Complex in Jaipur, Rajasthan, India were specially made for the royal ladies so that they could watch the 'going on's' on the streets of Jaipur, Rajasthan, North India.
Rajasthan Palace Tours offers to take you on luxury tours to the exquisite Hawa Mahal that was constructed in the year 1799 by maharaja Sawai Pratap Singh in Jaipur, Rajasthan, North India.
The beauty of this lovely Jaipur palace lies in the fact that it lives up to its name, as 'hawa' means 'air' and the entire palace looks like as though it's a whiff of breeze.
There are about 900 niches on the Hawa Mahal that were especially crafted for the ladies of the royal household so that they could watch the everyday market activities.
The inherent romance and delicacy that drips from every stone of the marvelously crafted Hawa Mahal is incomparable in terms of beauty and aesthetic sense. The entire Hawa Mahal has been built to resemble the Hindu deity Lord Krishna's crown. The interesting beehive structure of the Hawa Mahal with its pink sandstone façade can be accessed by entering the main City Palace building. The Fifty foot high structure is a unique example of excellent Rajputana architectural skill. There are no stairs to reach the intimate chambers but ramps that take you up to these high chambers.
