Hawa Mahal is one of the most popular attractions in the Pink City of Jaipur. Designed by Lal Chand Ustad and built by Maharaja Sawai Pratap Singh in 1799, it forms a part of the majestic City Palace. Built using pink and red sandstone, Hawa Mahal is a fine specimen of Rajput architecture.In 1799, the Kachhwaha Rajput ruler, Sawai Pratap Singh, grandson of Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh ordered Lal Chand Usta to construct an extension to the Royal City Palace. The Purdah system at the time was strictly followed. Rajput royal ladies should not be seen by strangers or appear in any public area. The construction of Hawa Mahal allows the royal ladies to enjoy from every day street scenes to royal processions on the street without being seen.
