Hawa Mahal, or the Palace of Winds, is a striking five-story pink sandstone structure in Jaipur. Its honeycomb-like facade features 953 small windows (jharokhas) that allowed royal women to watch street processions without being seen. Visitors can explore the interior chambers and climb to the top for panoramic views of the city. The intricate latticework and cooling breezes that gave the palace its name make it a unique architectural marvel.
