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.  See more at https://kimcarpenterphotos.smugmug.com/Hawa-Mahal-Jaipur-India/.
