Hawa Mahal (Wind Palace), Jaipur, India, Bourne & Shepherd, c. 1870 - c. 1900 Canvas Print
The Hawa Mahal palace in Jaipur is an example of post-mughal architecture and not so much a real palace but rather a façade containing 953 windows, balconies and niches spread over five floors. The building was commissioned by maharaja sawai pratap singh in 1799. The building aimed to give the harem women of the Maharaja of Rajasthan the opportunity to see the annual parade, without being able to be seen from the street themselves. Because the wind blows through the building, it is called ''Hawa Mahal'' (Windpaleis).
