Hawa Mahal (Palace Of The Winds) used to house the royal ladies, whom did not appear in public or in front of strangers. There are small windows on the building’s facade which are angled to over look the main market and central boulevard. Each window allowed the women to observe the daily life of the city whilst staying unseen from the street and commoner level. The outside world as small as the frame.
Great choice Jeremy

This is certainly an unusual frame and it almost “forces” the buildings to take its shape

Lovely frame, Jeremy. Also, lovely story from the past behind this shot. To not be able to go out or be seen by the public, that is a life essentially lived in the frame of another’s rule. Beautifully done as always π
