Rajasthan is a land of many historical forts and palaces, with each of them hiding numerous tales of the Royal Marwar in their architecture and grandeur. One such renowned heritage site is the Hawa Mahal or the ‘Palace of Winds’ in the ‘Pink City’ of India – Jaipur.
It was in the year 1799 that Maharaja Sawai Pratap Singh fabricated this illustrious structure as a continuation to the city royal residence. The Maharaja was a passionate enthusiast of Lord Krishna, which can be found in the design of Hawa Mahal taking after Lord Krishna's crown. Lal Chand Ustad had planned this castle in the state of a pyramid with its façade like a honeycomb with 953 'jharokas' or little windows cut out wonderfully in a conventional Marwari configuration secured with many-sided latticework. The royal residence was structured basically with a high screen divider as it was intended for imperial ladies and rulers; this let them appreciate seeing the bustling city life from behind these jharokas while staying concealed from outside. The cross section was structured in order to give the breeze a chance to stream in the royal residence and keep it ventilated during sweltering summer months.
The five-story royal residence offers an amazing perspective on Jaipur. It is fascinating to take note of that the royal residence doesn't have any stairs to go to the top stories; it just has tight slopes associating the various floors. It was worked in pink and red sandstone, as per different landmarks of the city giving Jaipur its name, 'Pink City'. Hawa Mahal is a combination of Rajput and Islamic design. In the domed shades, botanical examples cut out on fluted columns demonstrate the Rajput style of engineering; the stone decorate or filigree work and the lovely curves of the royal residence help us to remember the impact of Islamic design.
Remaining at the core of the Pink City, Hawa Mahal is a core of the Rajasthan Royalty. To catch the best see, attempt to visit the castle in the early morning for an amazing perspective on the dawn.
