Jaipur has become well known for its breezy Hawa Mahal, popularly known as "The Palace of Winds". Known as Jaipur's signature building, the Hawa Mahal, is a multi-layered palace, built by Sawai Pratap Singh, who was grand son of Sawai Jai Singh and son of Sawai Madhoo Singh in 1799 AD and Mr. Lal Chand Usta was the architect. Its purpose was simply to allow the royal women a view of ceremonial processions while seated behind the small windows. Allowing them to look out without themselves being seen. Famous for it's beehive like structure, the Hava Mahal is interplay of red and pink sand stone, carefully and painstakingly outlined with white borders and motifs.
