  • Hawa Mahal Overview

    The Palace of Breeze, Hawa Mahal is an extension to the City Palace situated at Badi Choupad, Pink City of Jaipur. It was built in 1799 by the Kachhwaha Rajput ruler Sawai Pratap Singh, grandson of Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh. It has 953 windows on the outside walls. The honeycomb shaped and beautifully carved windows allow breeze to blow through the palace and makes it a perfect summer palace. The five storied palace was built in the shape of Lord Krishna’s crown because King Sawai Pratap Singh was devoted to Bhagwan Krishna. The top three storeys have been named as Vichitra Mandir, Prakash Mandir and Hawa Mandir. First floor is named as Sharad Mandir and second floor as Ratan Mandir. The palace illuminates with golden sun light in the morning when the sun enters the rooms from the windows.  Perhaps it was built to allow the Royal Ladies to enjoy everyday street scenes and Royal processions on the street without being seen by outsiders. The ‘Purdah-System’ at the time was strictly followed, Rajput royal ladies should not be seen by strangers, or appear in any public area.
