Hawa Mahal

Overview

Hawa Mahal in Jaipur, also known as the Palace of Winds, is one of the city’s most iconic monuments. Built in 1799, its pink sandstone façade, featuring 953 intricate windows, makes it a masterpiece of Rajput architecture and a symbol of Jaipur’s heritage. Travellers are drawn to its striking design, the breeze-filled corridors, and the unique Hawa Mahal inside view that overlooks the bustling streets of the Pink City.

Important things to know about Hawa Mahal

Maharaja Sawai Pratap Singh constructed Hawa Mahal in Jaipur as an extension to the City Palace, designed by Lal Chand Ustad to allow the royal women to observe everyday life and festivities from behind the façade without being seen. Its honeycomb structure not only provided privacy but also ensured cool ventilation during Jaipur’s hot summers. The palace stands five storeys tall and is connected by gentle ramps rather than stairs, making it easy to ascend and enjoy panoramic views of the old city. Today, it remains a must-visit attraction due to its rich history, impressive architecture, and cultural significance.
