A common feature in classical [[Indian architecture]], most prominent in Rajasthan.{{ | 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. A common feature in classical [[Indian architecture]], most prominent in Rajasthan.{{citation needed|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. | ||
