Unusual Attractions in Jaipur

Sir Edwin Arnold thought Hawa Mahal was “a vision of daring and dainty loveliness, of storeys of rosy masonry and delicate overhanging balconies and latticed windows. Soaring with tier after tier of fanciful architecture in a pyramidal form, a very mountain of airy and audacious beauty through the thousand pierced screens and gilded arches of which the Indian air blows cool over the flat roofs of the very highest house.” As quoted in, Delhi Agra Jaipur, by Surendra Sahai.
