Hawa Mahal, Jaipur : It is a multi layered palace built by Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh II. The palace is famous for its beehive like structure, the Mahal is an interplay of red and pink sandstone, carefully and painstakingly outlined with white borders and motifs. 'The palace of winds' is a fantasia of 953 ornate windows set in a rose coloured five storied facade. The palace is tier upon tier of curved arch surmounting fairy casements with 'jali' (lattice work) that screened the ladies from common people. From here the ladies of the court could look out at festive processions without jeopardising their modest seclusion.

Jantar Mantar Observatory and City palace are nearby. Jantar Mantar is a famous observatory built by Maharaja Jai Singh which best reflects the passion of its founder for astronomy and his scientific genius. In the city palace is housed a rich and rare collection of ornaments, arms, royal costumes, carpets and decorative objects.
