Exploring Hawa Mahal: Unveiling Fascinating Features
Discovering more about the 'Palace of Wind,' Hawa Mahal, we find an archaeological museum at its heart, preserving Jaipur's artifacts and offering a glimpse into royal lives.
On the second floor, Ratan Mahal showcases colorful glasswork windows, turning the chamber into a stunning chandelier with passing light—a true work of art.
Some Jharokhas, crafted from wood, inspire architecture enthusiasts to study handmade artistry intricacies.
Interestingly, you can only use ramps to reach the top two floors as Hawa Mahal lacks conventional stairways.
The name "Hawa Mahal" is derived from the fifth floor, also called Hawa Mandir, adding historical significance to this architectural marvel.
