The Havelis and mansions in Rajasthan have a lot of Jharokhas (balconies), Trellis, and very small windows. Why?
The sun is overcast all through the year in Rajasthan. Jharokhas are made to let the people sit in there and have the cool breeze inside. Intricately carved stone trellis are put to obstruct the sunrays and at the same time keep the free flow of cool air. Big windows bring a lot of heat inside, hence they are avoided.
