Yes, the interiors are indeed exquisite. I was most curious on what the women in the past likely saw outside when viewing to warrant such an unbelievable bldg.

I also read that the Hawa Mahal has been built at such an angle that the royal women could look down on the streets without being spotted by anyone from down below. amazing engineering for those days?!

Road Blog says:

Farl, I imagine in those days royal women saw the processions and festivals in town - they could not be seen by commoners because they usually kept the veil...
however, what is seen from the windows today is this depressing scene - www.flickr.com/photos/roadblog/39824312/

Lecercle, thanks! as I said, this building is so photogenic :)
