You've seen this building a thousand times in photos, but standing in front of it is something else. Those 953 tiny windows (jharokhas) were designed so royal women could watch street processions without being seen. Built in 1799, it looks like a giant pink honeycomb. The inside is surprisingly simple — the magic is really in that facade. Get there early morning around 7-8 AM when the sun hits the front and the crowds haven't arrived yet.

One of the original seven gates to the walled city, and this one's still standing strong. Chandpole marks the western entrance to Old Jaipur. There's nothing much to 'do' here, but the gate itself is a beautiful photo opportunity, and the bazaar inside has some interesting finds — especially metal crafts and traditional utensils. The area comes alive during evenings.
