A common feature in classical [[Indian architecture]], most prominent in Rajasthan.{{cn|date=May 2022}} It is supported on two or more brackets or corbelling, has two pillars or pilasters, balustrade and a cupola or pyramidal roof; technically closed by ''[[jali]]'' but generally partly open for the inmates to peep out to see passing processions. The ''jharokha'' is more formal and ornamental than English or French [[oriel window]], and is one of the most distinctive characteristics of the façade in medieval Indian architecture until the 19th century. | ||
