Jaipur's signature building the Hawa Mahal, a multi layered palace, was built by maharaja Sawai Jai Singh II. Famous for it's bee-hive like structure, the mahal is an interplay of red and pink sand stone, carefully and pain-stakingly outlined with white borders and motifs. The palaces and forts of yesteryears which were witness to the royal processions and splendors are now living monuments, accepted quite naturally into the life-style of the people of the "pink city".

Falling under the golden triangle and being visited by millions of domestic and foreign tourists, the city of Jaipur is a place of high tourist interest. This five storeyed building was originally built to enable ladies of the royal household to watch the everyday life and processions of the city. There's a small archaeological museum also.
