Quick answer

the street façade at Hawa Mahal. Hawa Mahal, in Jaipur: the five-storey screened façade on Jaipur’s old-city street, built so court women could watch the road Winter morning light. Summer glare washes the front.

Detailed answer

the street façade at Hawa Mahal is one named part of Hawa Mahal, not the whole place. The wider set in this note is the street façade; the screened windows; the view back into the bazaar. The walking, said plainly: The famous view is from the street. The interior is stairs.
