  • Hawa Mahal
    • It is a palace in Jaipur, Rajasthan.

    • It exhibits a unique combination of Mughal and Rajput architectural styles.
    • It is a five-story pyramidal-shaped monument that rises to about 50 feet (15 m).
    • Its five-floor exterior is akin to honeycomb with its 953 small windows called Jharokhas.
    • The structure was built in 1799 by Maharaja Sawai Pratap Singh, the grandson of Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh, who was the founder of Jaipur.
    • Lal Chand Ustad was the architect of this unique structure.
    • Unlike conventional buildings, there is no front entrance to the Hawa Mahal.
    • If you want to get in, you have to enter from the rear side.
    • The lattice-work or the jaali work in the windows of Hawa Mahal is similar to the honeycomb of a beehive.
