Jaipur's signature building the Hawa Mahal, a multi layered palace, was built by MaharajaSawai Jai Singh II. Famous for it's Beehive like structure, the Mahal is an interplay of red and pink sand stone, carefully and painstakingly outlined with white borders and motif's.

The palaces and forts of yesteryears that were witness to the royal processions and splendors are now living monuments, accepted quite naturally into the life-style of the people of the "Pink City".
