One of the most famous palaces is the Hawa Mahal palace, also called “Palace of Winds” in the Pink city, Jaipur, just next to the City palace. It is believed that it was made for the royal ladies to observe the everyday life in the streets without being seen under the obligation to covering their face, and that’s why it became to be named the Palace of Winds. Amber Fort, with its lake and its famous Sheesh Mahal is another must-see attraction in Jaipur. The mahal is beautiful with many mirrors used over the walls.
