This ornate stone palace in salmon sandstone was constructed in 1799 to resemble the god Krishna’s crown. These five storeys were home to the ladies of the royal harem, one of its main features are its beautiful, delicately grilled windows allowing the women of the harem to watch the streets and markets below without being seen. 953 small windows open onto the street side, allowing in the breezes to keep the palace cool in all seasons but not much else, this gives the palaces its name, translated to Palace of Winds. Another interesting feature of the palace is that is doesn’t have any stairs, only ramps. The back of the palace opens on to a courtyard.
