Jaipur, the capital and largest city of Rajasthan is also known as the Pink City, due to the dominant usage of pink sandstones in their architecture. In India, the colour pink is associated with feminity, calmness and youthfulness.
Hawa Mahal, also known as Palace of Breeze, was built in 1799 as an extension to the Royal City Palace of Jaipur. It allows the royal ladies who at the time strictly observed “pardah”, to be able to watch any processions and activities on the street without being seen by the public.
