Hawa Mahal

    Newer Older

    Inside the Hawa Mahal, looking towards the main structure, which contains the 853 windows which the Queens (Maharanis) of Jaipur used to view the city and enjoy the royal procession when the Maharaja would enter the city, victorious from battle as commander of the Mughal army (an interesting situation engineered by Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh wedding his daughter to the Mughal emperor's son to bring peace to Jaipur).

      Gorgeous color and I love the off-centered composition.
