There is lots to come. Intrigue, safety, love, honour and more.
The CHANDRAPOL or Chand Darwaja Moon Door Entrance to the Hawa Mahal!
The Moon Goddess hence the Moon Door or CHANDRA POL.. Take her blessings before entering!
GANPATI, SHIVA, MOON GODDESS, VISHNU & SOMEONE ELSE ;)
GREETING YOU IN STYLE!
Dont forget to notice the Doors!
The Intricately carved top floor roofs. You can hear the music playing, women whispering and bursting into peals of laughter and just the general buzz of a Palace of the Royal Ladies

A hall for music, dance, mingling and fun. No need for a purdah or veil as outside men arent allowed in this Palace only for the Royal ladies, their maids and eunuchs and the king! Light shines out from the multi-colored glass giving everything a surreal feel
The turrets and 恢温鉛顎壊岳姻温糸艶壊
Multi-colored windows giving a light touch to the dining room! You can almost smell the aroma of delicious feasts being prepared oh yes, you are in the Bhojan Bhavan (Food Room)
The Light filtered 庄稼..

Notice that peacock that watches all the intrigue ..
Tis all a maze filled with Colorful bandhni dupattas, royal decrees and some hope!
Simple colored glass windows just giving so much ambience to the palace rooms! Its here that dance instructions, programs happened.
CHARMING in the 禽粥檎悪.
View from the Window. Watching the commoners go by, processions with all their fanfare and the silent nights
Small windows & peepholes ensure that the world cannot peep in allowing the women to roam freely without pardah
VICHITRA (CRAZY) MANDIR..

All of Jaipur is in front of you.dont miss the domes of the city palace to your left and the triangular Brihat Samrat Yantra on your right..
If you are planning to visit those other wonders then just know they all close by 5pm! So hurry! ;)
On your way down dont forget to just meander along the various corriders and rooms. The Mahal is a lot bigger than it looks with hidden staircases, dark, unlit rooms and surprise terraces! The picture to the right was one such chamber I just came across while roaming around.
