Jaipur's most iconic landmark, the Hawa Mahal is a five-story pink sandstone facade with 953 small windows (jharokhas) arranged in a honeycomb pattern. Built in 1799 by Maharaja Sawai Pratap Singh, it was designed so that royal women could observe street festivals and daily life without being seen — the perforated windows allowed cool breezes (hawa) to circulate through the palace. The building is essentially a grand facade — from the side, it's only one room deep. Viewed from the bustling Johari Bazaar at sunrise, when the early light turns it a deep salmon pink, it's one of India's most photographed buildings.
What makes this place special
The extraordinary honeycomb pattern of 953 intricately carved jharokha windows, each designed to catch the breeze and allow royal women to observe the city below unseen.

The open terrace at the top offers 360-degree views of Jaipur — the City Palace complex, Jantar Mantar's astronomical instruments, and the Nahargarh Fort on the hills above.
At sunrise, the eastern-facing facade catches the first light, transforming from dusky pink to deep salmon to brilliant gold — best viewed from the street-level chai stalls opposite.
