Jaipur's most famous landmark, built in 1799, the Hawa Mahal or the Palace of the Winds,
a fantasia of 953 ornated windows set in a rose-colored five storey facade. The palace has
tier upon tier of curved arch surmounting fairy casements with "jali" - lattice work screens.
From here the ladies of the court could look out at festive processions without jeopardizing
their modest seclusion.
