Description
"Palace of the Winds". Built of red and pink sandstone, its unique five-storey exterior is akin to the honeycomb of the beehive with its 953 small windows called jharokhas that are decorated with intricate latticework. The original intention of the lattice was to alow royal ladies to observe everyday life in the street below withour being seen, since they had to observe strict "purdah".
