Hawa Mahal "The Palace of Winds"
One of the major attraction when visiting Jaipur is the Hawa Mahal "The Palace of Winds"

This lace-like façade of the palace has 952 windows and is made of pink stones.
The palace was built in 1799 for Maharaja Sawai Pratap Singh strictly for his royal ladies only.
They could look outside these windows but no one could look inside.
