风之宫殿(Hawa Mahal)

Hawa Mahal，也被称为“风之宫”，由马哈拉贾·萨瓦伊·普拉塔普·辛格于1799年修建，作为印度斋浦尔市宫殿的延伸。这座美丽的五层宫殿由红色和粉色砂岩建成，外墙上有953扇小窗户。蜂窝状、雕刻精美的窗户让微风吹过宫殿，在夏天保持凉爽通风。格子设计还使王室女性能够在不被人看见的情况下观看下面街道上庆祝的活动和节日，因为她们必须遵守“深闺”的严格规定，这禁止她们在公共场合不戴面纱。

Hawa Mahal, also known as 'Palace of the Winds', was built by Maharaja Sawai Pratap Singh in 1799 as an extension to the City Palace of Jaipur in India. Constructed from red and pink sandstone, this beautiful five-storey palace has 953 small windows on the outside walls. The honeycomb shaped and beautifully carved windows allow the breeze to blow through the palace and keep it cool and airy in the summer. The lattice design also enabled royal ladies to watch activities and festivals celebrated in the street below without being seen, as they had to obey the strict rules of 'purdah', which forbade them to appear in public without face coverings.
