PALACE OF WINDS Travel to Amazing Places # 14
Hawa Mahal is a palace ((English translation: "Palace of winds" or "Palace of the Breeze"))in Jaipur, India, so it is named because it was essentially a high screen wall built.Legend has it that the palace, which overlooks the main street of Jaipur's lively Old City, was built so that the women of the royal household could watch the streets below without being observed.
It is Constructed of red and pink sandstone, the palace sits on the edge of the City Palace, Jaipur, and extends to the zenana, or women's chambers.

Constructed in 1799, it has five floors that contain rows of small windows and screens. Wind used to flow through the openings, giving the palace its name. However, the wind has now gone from the Wind Palace as most of the windows have been sealed shut. A panoramic view can be had from the top of the building.
