ITC RAJPUTANA, JAIPUR Jharokhas have always been an integral part of traditional Rajasthani architecture. Back in the day, the intricately designed windows allowed residents of a home to peek outside while also letting cool air in. The poolside lounge of the same name at ITC Rajputana draws inspiration from this very architectural feature, allowing sunlight to stream through during the day and a cool breeze to flow in at night. It's the perfect spot to relax on a sunny day with folk music and cocktails-especially the excellent Mauryan Sour. itchotels.com
