Hawa Mahal Museum


The Museum

It is inside the confines of the HAWA MAHAL situated in Jaipur City. Built by Maharajah Sawai Pratap Singh in 1799, it has a honeycomb structure just like the Palace itself with the windows so made for the easy passage of air throughout the year. Famously known as the Palace of Winds, it has thousands of small windows. If you look from outside, from a distance, it looks like a beehive. It has been so made that the winds can come and go through the Palace throughout the year keeping the Palace temprate as per the changing seasons.
