I wish I had a place like this from where I can have my morning cup of tea and enjoy the greenery and chirping of birds. Jaipur as a city is full of such beautiful pieces of architecture locally known as "Jharokha".(झरोखा)
Imagine the kind of detailed work that would have gone in making these stone look like "Moulded to this shape" - also notice the intricate carvings and "Jaali"(जाली) or Lattice work. Want to see this place for yourself, go ahead and see it at Jantar Mantar (near Hawa Mahal; "The palace of the wind" and a very popular tourist destination in Jaipur, India)
