Hawa Mahal

One of Jaipur’s famous sights is thought to be the Hawa Mahal. The five-story structure resembles a beehive with its intricate design, and because of all the windows and jharokhas, the interior is constantly windy. The palace was named the Hawa Mahal, which means literally “Palace of the Winds,” because of the incredible ventilation it enjoys.

The principal aim of building this palace was to provide the ladies of the royal family and the court with a way to watch the bustling Johari Market streets from the several jharokhas inside the castle, without being recognized. Standing at five stories, the Hawa Mahal is the highest structure in the world.
