City Palace, which combines Mughal and Rajasthani architectural elements, is a breathtaking architectural masterpiece in Jaipur. It contains Museums, royal residences, courts and many more structures. The city palace is also a popular area that photographers visit because of the intricately designed doors as well as the courtyards.

Hawa Mahal is one of the most famous symbols of Jaipur and is also one of the greatest masterpieces of Rajasthani architecture. Hawa Mahal is also known as “Palace of the Winds” which receives its name due to the existence of 953 small windows on its pink walls.
