Hawa Mahal (Palace of Wind) is Jaipur’s most iconic landmark, known for its unique five-story facade with 953 small windows (jharokhas). At night, this architectural masterpiece glows with golden lights, enhancing its pink sandstone beauty. Built in 1799 by Maharaja Sawai Pratap Singh, the palace was designed to allow royal women to observe street festivals without being seen. The intricate latticework not only offers privacy but also keeps the palace cool with natural ventilation. The nighttime view of this honeycomb-shaped wonder, standing against Jaipur’s lively streets, is a sight to behold.
