Summary

Description

Vue d'ensemble du célèbre Hawa Mahal (Palais des vents)

Cet édifice de cinq étages a été réalisé en 1799 sous le règne de Pratap Singh.

Sa façade est composée de loges en saillie couvertes d'un petit demi-dôme et dont les fenêtres sont, pour l'essentiel de leur surface, obturées par des écrans de pierre ajourée (jali). Ce système permettait aux femmes du harem de voir dans la rue sans être vues, comme le veut la tradition islamique que les rois rajpouts, alliés des empereurs moghols, appliquaient à la lettre.
