04 - a haven of peace
PALACE OF THE WINDS
Jaipur’s must-visit landmark, this palace gets its name from its design, which boasts 950 windows that allow for air to circulate freely from outside. These windows also made it possible for the women of the royal harem to look out onto the street without being seen.
OUR TIP 🖤
Enjoy a chai latte on the rooftop across the way with a breathtaking view of Hawa Mahal (Palace of the Winds).
Hawa Mahal Rd, Badi Choupad, Jaipur, Rajasthan, India
block print
Ancestral know-how at its best: with this ancient printing technique, a wooden block is carved in accordance with Indian traditions.
Carved by hand, each block has its own particular feel and grooves that make every pattern and fabric unique.
OUR TIP 🖤
The Anokhi Museum is dedicated to the art of block printing. Sign up for a workshop and create prints with the local artists.

jaipur rugs
Passed down from generation to generation, Jaipur rugs are the fruit of meticulous labor involving precise hand movements that create colorful and one-of-a-kind pieces.
OUR TIP 🖤
