Travel to the Hawa Mahal as you go about exploring India with us at The Rajputana Getaway. Also known as the "Palace of Winds", the Hawa Mahal is one of the prime attractions of Jaipur and is truly a must visit site for every tourist in the "pink city".

If we delve into the history of the Hawa Mahal, we will learn that it was built by Maharaja Sawai Pratap Singh in 1799 AD. Shaped like a pyramid, this five-storied structure was made for the ladies of the royal household. During those days, women had to observe "purdah " and keep themselves away from the public eye. With the construction of the Hawa Mahal, the royal ladies were not only able to witness royal processions and day-to-day happenings on the road outside but were also able to conveniently shield themselves from the public gaze.

An architectural marvel, the Hawa Mahal simply amazes every visitor. Besides, the structure was constructed in a special manner to withstand the inhospitable weather conditions of Rajasthan.

On your travel to the Hawa Mahal, you will learn that it is a classic combination of the famed Rajputana and Mughal styles of architecture. Right from its exquisitely carved window screens to its arched roofs, the Hawa Mahal spells grandeur all the way.

Locals say that the best time to visit the Hawa Mahal is in the morning. It is the time when the rays of the rising sun bathe the entire structure in a golden glow. Indeed, it is a sight that is sure to remain etched your memory forever. Enjoy this and more during your travel to the Hawa Mahal with The Rajputana Getaway.
