Hawa Mahal
Hawa Mahal was commissioned by the Maharaja of Jaipur and is part of the City Palace complex, extending into the royal women's quarters. It stands along the main road of the old city's commercial district, with a five-story pink sandstone facade that resembles a massive wall, densely packed with 953 honeycomb-shaped latticed windows. These windows served more than just an aesthetic purpose. In the past, royal women were not permitted to appear in public according to custom, so the designer used dense latticework to allow them to overlook the festivals and daily life on the streets without being seen by those outside. The latticework also created a cross-breeze. During the hot season, wind flowed through the front and back windows, cooling the interior, which is how the name Hawa Mahal came to be. The window wall is the back of the palace. The entrance is around the back, through the gate leading to the City Palace side. Upon entering, you first find an inner courtyard, which houses a small archaeological museum. The floors are connected by ramps, and several rooms with stained glass are filled with color when sunlight streams in. Climbing to the top floor and looking out from the small windows, you can take in the old city streets and the nearby City Palace andJantar Mantar in one view.Jaipur · 7.9 km from Amer

The Amber Fort in India is built with milky white, light yellow, rose red and pure white stones. It looks like amber from a distance, so it is called the Amber Fort. The architecture of the Amber Fort is complex but exquisite. It is built against the mountain and is very imposing. The famous Mirror Palace in the Amber Fort is an exquisite pattern inlaid with tiny lenses. The exquisite technique is amazing!

I recently visited the Nahargarh Fort in Jaipur during my trip in April and it was an unforgettable experience. The fort is located on a hilltop and offers stunning views of the city. It has a rich history and the architecture is beautiful. I highly recommend a visit to Nahargarh Fort for anyone traveling to Jaipur.

The Water Palace is also a site of an ancient Indian dynasty. The palace building is quite large and you can see many sculptures with Indian characteristics. The building itself is also quite interesting. It is a rare place to learn about Indian architectural culture.

The Amber Palace outside the ancient city area is free to climb. It is a typical European-style palace. The only difference between the "Great Wall" and ours is that the battlements are Muslim-style pointed arches. Climbing up the mountain, you can overlook the endless panorama of the ancient city, but unfortunately it is shrouded in a serious haze. There are few tourists here and it is unusually quiet. The Wind Palace and the ancient palace complex in the center of the ancient city are the most essential parts.
