- The programme presents paintings about the monument’s architecture and heritage through 1 November 2026.

The Palace of the Winds (Hawa Mahal) in Jaipur is hosting a painting exhibition from 30 October to 1 November 2026. The three-day programme places paintings about the monument’s architecture and heritage inside its First Courtyard gallery, giving visitors an art display during their visit to the Rajasthan landmark.
Painting exhibition runs through 1 November in Jaipur
The exhibition is being held in the First Courtyard gallery within the monument. Paintings showing the building’s beauty, architectural design and historical heritage are scheduled for display from 30 October through 1 November 2026.
A report by Dainik Navajyoti’s exhibition report says tourists can view the artworks while touring the monument. The arrangement links the temporary programme directly to the building, rather than presenting a separate city event under a similar name.
The palace’s windows and history shape the exhibition
The monument was built in 1799 by Maharaja Sawai Pratap Singh, with Ustad Lal Chand identified as its designer. The National Portal of India records 953 small windows, known as jharokhas, across the palace.
Those windows are part of the building’s defining visual character and provide a clear connection between the exhibition subject and its setting. The same government description says the palace was designed so royal women could observe life in Jaipur’s streets without being seen from outside; the paintings therefore sit inside the architectural and social history they depict. Further government information on the palace places it in Jaipur and identifies its historical features.
Why the First Courtyard matters for visitors
The First Courtyard gallery gives the event a defined location within the monument. For travellers, that means the exhibition is encountered as part of a visit to the palace, with the artworks addressing the same facade, windows and heritage that define the site.
The programme also falls across the end of October and the first day of November. Visitors planning a trip around those dates can therefore look for the painting display in the First Courtyard, while the rest of the palace remains the historic setting described by the National Portal of India.
