HAWA MAHAL, JAIPUR

Constructed in 1799, Hawa Mahal is the most sensational monument in the city of Jaipur . The palace overlooks one of Jaipur's main streets and was originally constructed to offer women of the court an upper hand, so that they can watch the activities taking place in the bazaar and the surrounding streets behind stone-carved screens. For this purpose, it was designed with over 900 niches, and the entire building is shaped like a crown adorning Lord Krishna's head.

Hawa Mahal, Jaipur

Famous for it's beehive like structure, the Mahal is interplay of red and pink sand stone, carefully and painstakingly outlined with white borders and motifs. The palaces and forts of yesteryears, which were witness to the royal processions and splendors, are now living monuments, accepted quite naturally into the lifestyle of the people of the " Pink City ".

The entrance to the Hawa Mahal is in the rear side of the main building, the front portion of the building having no entry at all, unlike conventional buildings.

The entrance to Hawa Mahal is from the City Palace side, through a stately door, which opens into a spacious courtyard. The courtyard has a double storied building on three sides. There is a small archaeological museum here. Only the eastern wing has three more stores above, which are just a single room thick. The building, standing on a high podium, is a fifty-foot high, thin shield, less than a foot in thickness, with small intimate chambers, which give this palace its unique facade. There are no regular stairs to reach the upper floors, but only ramps.

Falling under the Golden Triangle, and being visited by millions of domestic and foreign tourists, the city of Jaipur is a place of high tourist interest. The Pink City , as commonly known, has all sorts of amenities for domestic and foreign tourists. Hotels ranging from 5 stars to low budgets are available. The city is linked by Rail, Road, and Air and attracts high traffic in winters.
