Rising gracefully amidst the bustling bazaars of Jaipur’s Old City, the Hawa Mahal, or Palace of Winds, stands as one of Rajasthan’s most iconic architectural marvels. With its honeycomb-like façade of 953 intricately carved windows (jharokhas), the Hawa Mahal captures imagination with both its aesthetic splendor and its historical resonance.

Nestled at the heart of Jaipur, the capital of Rajasthan, lies one of India’s most illustrious and storied palaces: the City Palace. An architectural marvel that seamlessly fuses traditional Rajput aesthetics with Mughal grandeur, the City Palace complex occupies nearly one-seventh of Jaipur’s walled city.
