Hawa Mahal
The palace features 953 small windows called 'jharokhas' decorated with intricate latticework. The design allowed royal women to observe everyday life and festivals on the street below without being seen by the public. Despite having five floors, there are no stairs - only ramps connect the levels. The pink sandstone facade is only one room deep but creates a stunning honeycomb illusion.
