Description
With 953 honeycomb-shaped and beautifully carved windows on the outside wall, Hawa
Mahal is located in Badi Choupad, Pink City of Jaipur, India. It was constructed in 1799 by the Kachhwaha Rajput ruler, Sawai Pratap Singh, grandson of Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh as an extension to Royal City Palace. The building consists of five stores and builds in the form of Krishna's crown as the king was a devotee of Shri Krishna. Windows allow the breeze to blow through the palace making it a perfect summer destination. In contrast to the rich exterior of the Palace, the interior is comparatively simple but gives the visitors the best views of the pink city.
