You get a very nice atmosphere here. And also you can shoot photos of you with best view plus aesthetic views are so good

Visited Mar 2022. Enough has been written here about this place. I'll just add this : - when you get there figure out how a large banyan tree seems to be growing on the first floor. - wish people would not litter. wadhwan admin needs to clean this place. Pics attached.

Good place to view but there are lack of inappropriate also a good for weddings photography .

Beautiful piece of architecture in Surendranagar. Two hawa mahals are located in India, One in Rajasthan and other one being in Surendranagar, Gujarat. The hawa mahal is well built and is very huge. It needs to be maintained

Beautiful architecture but losing it's charm due to lack of maintenance. Government should take of care of it. Must visit places.

Never knew India has 2 HAWA MAHALS. The half constructed, stone structure build at the bank of a lotus pond outside the walled town of Vadhavan in Surendranagar district is a marvel of ancient times. The beautiful stone arches, rhythm of columns and the resultant volume are matters of fascination in the structure. Beautiful site to visit if you're in Surendranagar district. Also, beware of Snakes, some have found a home in the cracks.

Nice place with in the wadhwan... that was only e place were you can have nature as well as a historical touch but ancrochment from the people made it in worst congratulations... i remember its early days and it glory...

Hawa Mahal, 'the wind palace' was built during the era of Jhala rulers. Even though it was an ambitious project with ultimate craftsmanship, the work was left incomplete. The part which is incomplete is outside the actual fort and is in different stages of construction along with the study of architectural designs, which were stopped midway. These give a glimpse into the style of architecture used by the artisans in erecting Hawa Mahal. In the present day also, many of the Sompura artisans whose community built Hawa mahal are seen involved in carvings and cutting of sculptures for various Hindu and Jain temple projects. [Sompura Salat community was one of the Brahmin communities in Gujarat who were master artisans. They built famous Somnath Temple. In recent years, these artisans have been called upon for restoration work of various temples in Gujarat as well as in other parts of India, and also building new temples.]
