The streets here, scented with a mixture of jasmine, spices, and incense, invite you to get lost until you stumble upon the Royal Palace. It is the work of the English architect Henry Irwin, who designed it in a combination of Hindu, Gothic and Rajput architectural styles.<\/p>\n<p>The structure is three floors of pure grey granite, with vibrant red domes crowning the four towers on each corner. Inside the palace, busy walls teeming with decorative patterns, colors and opulent arches greet you and whisk you away to a bygone age. The palace also houses numerous galleries, with sculptures, paintings, jewelry and old clothing.<\/p>\n<p>If you want to see the\u00a0palace in its full splendor, do not miss Sunday evenings, where after seven o\u2019clock, thousands of light bulbs illuminate the fa\u00e7ade.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1647 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.exoticca.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/post-blog-india-palaces-01-mysore.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"791\" height=\"298\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.exoticca.com\/ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/post-blog-india-palaces-01-mysore.jpg 791w, https:\/\/www.exoticca.com\/ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/post-blog-india-palaces-01-mysore-300x113.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 791px) 100vw, 791px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Palace_of_the_Winds\"><\/span><strong>Palace of the Winds<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Among all the monuments of Jaipur, there is one with a special magnetism capable of attracting all eyes. In the city, famous for its gemstone business, the Palace of the Winds, a name that already inspires legends enclosed within its walls, stands majestically. The construction, which seems to be made of woven lace, is the work of the Maharaja Sawai Pratap Singh. It was built in 1799 and originally served as a women&#8217;s chamber, for women destined to become part of the Maharaja\u2019s harem.<\/p>\n<p>There is little behind the fa\u00e7ade, except for old corridors and rubble, but this only adds to the intrigue of the palace. Built in red and pink sandstone and inlaid with calcium oxide, the palace owes its name to the sweet sound that the wind produces when it passes through the windows and slits. The desert air sweeps through the glass-less viewing holes and would have kept the palace exquisitely cool.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1650 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.exoticca.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/post-blog-india-palaces-03-winds.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"791\" height=\"298\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.exoticca.com\/ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/post-blog-india-palaces-03-winds.jpg 791w, https:\/\/www.exoticca.com\/ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/post-blog-india-palaces-03-winds-300x113.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 791px) 100vw, 791px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Harmandir_Sahib_Temple\"><\/span><strong>Harmandir Sahib Temple<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>At the heart of the city of Amritsar is the mystic temple of Harmandir Sahib, a marvel covered with gold that seems to float on the sacred waters.

A monument that depicts the adventures carried out by the Emperor throughout the Islamic world, especially in Persia and Central Asia.<\/p>\n<p>The building, which was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1993, mimics the style of one of the most famous and beautiful palaces in India, the Taj Mahal, fusing both Islamic and Persian architecture.<\/p>\n<p>Its interior consists of an octagonal central room and is decorated with paintings. All facades are symmetrical, as is the whole building. Balance is also maintained in the decoration, where materials of three different colors, white, red and brown, are arranged in equal parts. The building is crowned with a large dome of white marble and it graciously unifies the whole structure.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1644 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.exoticca.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/post-blog-india-palaces-04-hummayun.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"791\" height=\"298\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.exoticca.com\/ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/post-blog-india-palaces-04-hummayun.jpg 791w, https:\/\/www.exoticca.com\/ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/post-blog-india-palaces-04-hummayun-300x113.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 791px) 100vw, 791px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Amber_Fort\"><\/span><strong>Amber Fort<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Just 11 kilometers away from Jaipur, the capital of Rajasthan, lies the Amber Fort, which rises on a hilltop, dominating the entire area.
