Hawa Mahal history
The Hawa Mahal is
located in Jaipur, the state capital of Rajasthan. This is a mansion-palace.
Hawa Mahal was constructed by Maharaja Sawai Pratap Singh in 1798 and it was
designed by architect Lal Chand Usta like a 'Rajmukut'. It's unique five-storey the building, which is only one and a half feet wide from the top, looks out from
the beehive on the outside, in which there are 953 extremely beautiful and
attractive small-latticed windows, called Jharokha. The basic feeling behind
making these windows netting was that the women of Rajghar who strictly adhered
to the "curtain custom" looked at the activities of the roads and the everyday life of the streets under the palace with these windows. Apart from
this, due to the "Venturi effect", the cold air, always with the
walls of these complex structures, comes in the castle, due to which the palace
always remains air conditioning in the hot summer.
