Jaipur's most famous landmark is the Palace of the Winds or Hawa Mahal, a fantasia of 953 ornate
of windows set in a rose-colored five storey facade. The palace, tier upon tier of curved arch surmounting
fairy casements with "jali", lattice work screens the ladies from the public. From here the ladies of the court could look out
at festive processions without jeopardizing their modest seclusion. |
