Prologue: A fun series that documents my travels.
On the morning of Day 3 we began with the tour of Hawa Mahal (= Palace of Winds).
The marvel of architecture was simply stunning. One can see how this is called as palace of winds, the way all the tiny holes were drilled into the sandstone you get a continuous flow of air creating a breeze. Some were drilled downward and some upward to make a perfect cross breeze as well.
Some of the large holes have been covered with color glass now, but at one time they were open holes.
Here is a video showing some of the inner structures.
