Hawa Mahal or the ‘Palace of Winds’ : It was built in 1799, by the poet king Sawai Pratap Singh for the royal ladies to enjoy the procession and day to day activities from the cool confinement of this majestic facade. The five storeyed semi-octagonal structures have 953 niches and 152 windows, with overhanging latticed balconies, curvilinear roofs, domes and spires.
