EDITORS COMMENTS
"This photograph, taken circa 1890s, showcases the Palace of the Winds, also known as Hawa Mahal, in Jeypore, India. The Palace of the Winds is a remarkable architectural masterpiece, renowned for its intricate design and ornate facade. The building's exterior is adorned with numerous flags atop the turrets, adding to its grandeur and majesty. The structure is a testament to the rich history and cultural heritage of India during the late 19th century. As you gaze at this image, you can almost hear the gentle rustle of the wind as it filters through the intricately carved windows, giving the palace its name. The Palace of the Winds was designed to allow the royal ladies to observe the bustling streets of Jeypore without being seen. This explains the numerous small windows, which are adorned with delicate screens, allowing the ladies to catch a glimpse of the world outside. The photograph also reveals a vibrant scene of life outside the palace. People from all walks of life are gathered, seemingly engaged in various activities. The image captures the essence of India's rich cultural heritage and the daily life of its people during this era. The Palace of the Winds in Jeypore remains a popular tourist destination today, attracting visitors from around the world who are drawn to its unique architecture and historical significance." This photograph is part of the Boswell collection, slide no. 20 and 70, available on Mary Evans Prints Online. It is a rare and valuable glimpse into India's past, offering a unique perspective on the country's history and cultural traditions.
