Hey / What's up
The Hawa Mahal (Palace of Winds) is best seen at sunrise before the crowds โ the 953 latticed windows were designed so royal women could watch street processions without being seen, and in the right light the pink sandstone facade glows. The City Palace complex is still partially occupied by the Jaipur royal family. For jewellery, head to Johari Bazaar where certified gem dealers sell the precious stones Jaipur has been mining for 500 years โ the city is the world capital of gemstone cutting.
