Hawa Mahal Palacwe of the Winds Jaipur Sawai Jai Singh enlightened civic minded ruler He commissioned translations of mathematical and astronomical texts into Sanskrit had observatories built all across his kingdomJantar MantarJaipurvast array of stone astronomical equipment. The year is 1699. Sawai Jai Singh becomes ruler, or Maharaja, of the Kingdom of Amber in northern India. He throws off the yoke of the Mughal Empire and establishes the independence of his kingdom, thus sparking a political and cultural revival. And in 1727 Sawai Jai Singh founded a new capital for his kingdom — Jaipur, meaning "City of Jai". He employed a man called Vidyadhar Bhattacharya to plan this city according to ancient principles of Hindu architecture and urban design, known as Vastu Shastra. Sawai Jai Singh was an enlightened and civic minded ruler. He commissioned translations of mathematical and astronomical texts into Sanskrit and had observatories built all across his kingdom. Like the Jantar Mantar in Jaipur, a vast array of stone astronomical equipment. Sawai Jai Singh also renovated and redesigned the nearby Jal Mahal, a 17th century palace in the middle of a lake And, of course, the Hawa Mahal was built with that famous local limestone, glowing when illuminated by the sun and perfectly contrasting with the white windows and decorations. A reminder that the materials and colours we use are a vital part of architecture. And, of course, the Hawa Mahal was built with that famous local limestone, glowing when illuminated by the sun and perfectly contrasting with the white windows and decorations. A reminder that the materials and colours we use are a vital part of architecture. And so this is, in truth, a very unusual structure. Though it looks like a grand set of chambers it is essentially a stack of galleries, a thin architectural screen, only a few feet wide at the top.
