The Hawa Mahal



This was a very different sight, it basically looked like a little pink gingerbread house. It was build for the ladies of the royal household to be able to watch life go by in the city without being seen (which I enjoyed terrible, as you can see). It was five-stories high, but at the top floor only a meter wide. And below it is one of the busiest streets in the city (note that Jaipur is a massively bustling, 3.3mln people city).
