**Khetri Mahal**, also known as the **Wind Palace of Jhunjhunu** or **Bhopalgarh**, is a stunning yet partially ruined palace built around **1770** by **Bhopal Singh**, the founder of **Khetri** town. This palace is one of **Jhunjhunu's** most unique historical structures, gaining its famous nickname for its numerous arches and columns designed to allow maximum wind flow, similar in concept to **Jaipur's Hawa Mahal**, which it is said to have inspired. The structure stands on an elevated platform, offering a panoramic view of the old city of **Jhunjhunu**. Although currently in a state of disrepair, the palace?s architectural brilliance, especially its sheer size and the ingenious ventilation system, is still evident. It?s a place for history buffs and architecture enthusiasts to appreciate the forgotten grandeur of the **Shekhawati** royals. The intricate details of its past frescoes and the view from its top levels make it a fascinating spot to explore. It served as a relaxation retreat for the **Khetri** rulers. ***Information
