The Palace of the Winds - Hawa Mahal has become a brand of Jaipur and one of the most remarkable buildings in the country. This unique creation of Indian architects and builders with a height of 15 m (5 floors) with a red sandstone facade was completed in 1799 and is part of a complex of palace buildings in the center of the city - the capital of Rajasthan. The order for construction came from Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh, but the completion of the construction took place under another ruler. Each of the many rooms has a carved balcony with a dome, which invariably creates coolness for the inhabitants, so the Palace was a favorite place for the large Raja family, especially in the summer.
