Hawa Mahal

Adjacent to the City Palace, the so-called Palace of the Winds is a five-tiered, pink confection built in 1799 for the ladies of the royal household. Peering through the lacy sandstone carving the women could view daily life on the streets without being seen. The apparently vast building is really a trompe l’oeil, since the top three stories are each just one-room deep. Members can contact our Bookings Team for help organizing custom touring.
