Reviews Of Khetri Mahal

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 an d 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. More
