This palace resembling the shape of inverted honeycomb structure was built in 1799 primarily to allow the royal ladies to enjoy the hustle and bustle of the street without being noticed by the onlookers. Due to the specific architecture of the palace and the uninterrupted views that it provided, the royal ladies could actually see the clear view of the street life without revealing them to the glare of public. In fact the windows of the palace were provided with designer lattice that not only allowed the birds' eye view of the street scenes but also helped to give a unique look to the entire building from the outside. But the main objective of these windows was to let the royal ladies enjoy the street scene without being noticed.
Who built it?
The credit of building this palace goes to Sawai Pratap Singh of Kachchwaha Rajput Clan. One of the most prominent architects of the era Lal Chand Ustad used best of his artistic skills and architectural excellence to conceptualize and plan the design of the palace.
