The Hawa Mahal or the Palace of Winds, is a beautiful Palace in #jaipur #India, built in 1799 by Maharaja Sawai Pratap Singh the grandson of Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh, who was the founder of Jaipur.
Maharaja Sawai Pratap Singh, grandson of the great Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh who built Jaipur, constructed the Hawa Mahal in 1799. He was so impressed with the Khetri Mahal built by Maharaja Bhopal Singh in the town of Jhunjhunu, Rajasthan that he embarked on constructing the Hawa Mahal that today stands as a remarkable gem of Rajput style of architecture. It was built as an extension of the Royal City Palace and leads to the zenana or women's chambers. One of the main reasons of constructing this beautiful mahal decorated with fine lattice windows and screened balconies was to facilitate the royal Rajput women, who otherwise followed the strict Purdah system and refrained from appearing in public, in getting a glimpse of the daily events, royal processions and festivals taking place on the streets. This way they could enjoy their sense of freedom while maintaining their customs. #Heritage #Historic #Beaut #Beautiful #Structures #Historical #Splendid #Views #Lit #Architecture #ArchitecturalDesign #DesignAesthetic #NeverGetsOld #RajputArchitecture #MaharajaSawaiPratapSingh #HawaMahal #Jaipur #JaipurDiaries #JaipurJournal #Rajasthan #India #Wanderer #Wanderlust #Travel #Travelogue #TravelDiaries (at Hawa Mahal)
Elephants are cute and intelligent, we know that. But they didn't spare the elephants the privilege of keeping their gorgeous tusks even in the sculptures.
