Singh. He was so inspired by the unique structure of Khetri
Mahal that he built this grand and historical palace. It was
designed by Lal Chand Ustad. Its unique five-story exterior is
akin to the honeycomb of a beehive with its 953 small
windows called jharokhas decorated with intricate
latticework.The original intent of the lattice design was to
allow royal ladies to observe everyday life and festivals
celebrated in the street below without being seen, since they
had to obey the strict rules of "purdah", which forbade them
from appearing in public without face coverings.
