Hawa Mahal in Jaipur is constructed using

This question was previously asked in

RRB NTPC 2015 CBT 1 Question Paper PDF (2-Apr-2016) (Shift 3)

White and green marble

Granite

Red and Pink sandstone

Normal rocks

The correct answer is

Red and Pink sandstone

Hawa Mahal, the 'Palace of Winds', was built in Jaipur in 1799 by Maharaja Sawai Pratap Singh.

Its five-storey honeycomb facade of 953 jharokhas is constructed using red and pink sandstone, which gives the building its distinctive pink hue in keeping with Jaipur's 'Pink City' identity.

White or green marble is seen in buildings like the Taj Mahal and Dilwara temples, not Hawa Mahal, and granite is not the primary material.

Hence, Red and Pink sandstone.
