This image shows The Udaipur City view from Jharokha of City Palace Udaipur. Jharokha or jharoka is a type of overhanging enclosed balcony used in the architecture of Rajasthan. It was also used in Indo-Islamic architecture. Jharokha jutting forward from the wall plane could be used both for adding to the architectural beauty of the building itself or for a specific purpose. One of the most important functions it served was to allow women to see outside without being seen themselves. Alternatively, these windows could be used to position archers and spies. The jharokha is a stone window projecting from the wall face of a building, in an upper story, overlooking a street, market, court or any other open space. Jharokha are mainly used in palaces, haveli and temples.
