Architectural Treasures 
With centuries of internecine wars and brief spells of peace, with
dedicated commitment and a slow chipping of its rocks and quarries, the
brave Rajput kings and the aesthetic Moghuls emperors have left behind an
incredible treasure trove of architectural legacies. This land, its
magnificent citadels and princely kingdoms contain ethereal palaces,
imposing fortresses, splendid temples, elaborate wells, handsome mansions
and memorials to their dead. In these facades and monuments one can see a
wealth of architectural details and many of them blend the indo-colonial,
Mughal and Rajput styles of construction with elan.

to hide the beautiful women of the royal households from prying eyes, with
its many latticed windows. What it truly provides is a peek into the
mystical culture of Rajasthan.
