Jaipur City Palace |
|
Latticed Windows of Hawa Mahal in Jaipur City Hawa Mahal ( "Palace of Winds" / “Palace of the Breeze” ) is designed in the form of the crown of the Hindu god Krishna. Its five-story exterior resembles the honeycomb of a beehive with its small windows decorated with intricate lattice work. The intention was to allow royal ladies to observe everyday life without being seen since they had to observe "purdah" ( face cover ). The
red and pink sandstone of the palace
is particularly striking when viewed at sunrise. |
