JAIPUR Jal Mahal The Jal Mahal Palace Is An Architectural Showcase Of The Rajput Style Of Architecture (Common In Rajasthan) On A Grand Scale. The Building Has A Picturesque View Of The Lake Itself But Owing To Its Seclusion From Land Is Equally The Focus Of A Viewpoint From The Man Sagar Dam On The Eastern Side Of The Lake In Front Of The Backdrop Of The Surrounding Nahargarh ("Tiger-Abode") Hills. The Palace, Built-In Red Sandstone, Is A Five Storied Building, Of Which Four Floors Remain Underwater When The Lake Is Full And The Top Floor Is Exposed. One Rectangular Chhatri On The Roof Is Of The Bengal Type. The Chhatris On The Four Corners Are Octagonal. The Palace Had Suffered Subsidence In The Past And Also Partial Seepage (Plasterwork And Wall Damage Equivalent To Rising Damp) Because Of Waterlogging, Which Have Been Repaired Under A Restoration Project Of The Government Of Rajasthan. JAIPUR Hawa Mahal Hawa Mahal (English Translation: "The Palace Of Winds" Or "The Palace Of Breeze") Is A Palace In Jaipur, India. Made With The Red And Pink Sandstone, The Palace Sits On The Edge Of The City Palace, Jaipur, And Extends To The Zenana, Or Women's Chambers. The Structure Was Built In 1799 By Maharaja Sawai Pratap Singh, The Grandson Of Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh, Who Was The Founder Of Jaipur. He Was So Inspired By The Unique Structure Of Khetri Mahal That He Built This Grand And Historical Palace. It Was Designed By Lal Chand Ustad. Its Unique Five Floors Exterior Is Akin To The Honeycomb Of A Beehive With Its 953 Small Windows Called Jharokhas Decorated With Intricate Latticework. The Original Intent Of The Lattice Design Was To Allow Royal Ladies To Observe Everyday Life And Festivals Celebrated In The Street Below Without Being Seen, Since They Had To Obey The Strict Rules Of "Purdah", Which Forbade Them From Appearing In Public Without Face Coverings. This Architectural Feature Also Allowed Cool Air From The Venturi Effect To Pass Through, Thus Making The Whole Area More Pleasant During The High Temperatures In Summer. Many People See The Hawa Mahal From The Street View And Think It Is The Front Of The Palace, But In Reality It Is The Back Of That Structure.

The Farmers Of The Area, Faced With This Hardship, Sought The Help Of The Then Maharaja, Umaid Singh, Who Was The 37th Rathore Ruler Of Marwar At Jodhpur, To Provide Them With Some Employment So That They Could Survive The Harsh Conditions. The Maharaja, In Order To Help The Farmers, Decided To Build A Lavish Palace. He Commissioned Henry Vaughan Lanchester As The Architect To Prepare The Plans For The Palace; Lanchester Was A Contemporary Of Edwin Lutyens, Who Had Planned The Buildings Of The New Delhi Government Complex. Lanchester Patterned The Umaid Palace On The Lines Of The New Delhi Building Complex By Adopting The Theme Of Domes And Columns.
