You will be able to see the arched balconies in several places in Rajasthan but nowhere else will you find this mammoth 5 tiered mammoth of a building where each level has its intricate carvings and arched balconies.

The BadalMahal gets its name precisely due to its stature. Constructing a gorgeous building like it in those days certainly must have been a real feat as it would be even today. The intricateness of the carvings and the lattice work is simply exemplary.
