Jali, Latice work for window

The enchanting play of light and shadow from the jalis or lattice windows are an integral part of the havelis and palaces of Rajashtan. Ideal during the hot humid Indian summer, the jalis dispel the harsh rays of the sun and allow a cool creeze to circulate in the interiors.

Moreover, the purdah-conscious Rajasthani women use the jalis of their balconies and terraces to enjoy the view of the bazaar without being seen themselves by the public.
