Unscramble the above to get 'Hawa Mahal'
Hawa Mahal, or the "Palace of Winds", is a palace in Jaipur, India. It was built in 1799 by Maharaja Sawai Pratap Singh. It forms part of the City Palace. Its original intention was to allow the royal ladies to observe everyday life in the street below without being seen.
It has five stories and is constructed of red and pink sandstone, highlighted with white quick lime. The side facing the street outside the palace complex has 953 small windows, and the breeze (hawa) which circulates through these windows gives the palace its name, and keeps it cool even in hot months.
The entrance opens onto a courtyard with a double-storied building on three sides, and one on the eastern wing with three more stories, which is just one room wide. There are no stairs to reach the upper floors, only ramps.

"Jumble" is a trademark, and should not be used in the title of a teaser.
Got this with some extra effort. I had seen the Hawa Mahal earlier this year and so could get the word correctly! Thanks for a good teaser.
