Description
Before glass windows and steel frames, there were Jharokhas â those ornate overhanging balconies that let the women of Rajasthan watch the city below while remaining unseen. Every haveli had one. Every Jharokha told a story about who lived inside. This one tells yours.
About the Craft
The Jharokha wall piece is hand-carved by artisans in Rajasthan â the city where this architectural form is most alive. The intricate lattice work, layered arches, and geometric jali detailing follow the visual grammar of Rajput haveli architecture. Made from seasoned Kadamb wood, the piece is substantial and richly finished. This is not a print of a Jharokha. It is the craft of one, scaled for your wall.
Vastu Tip
Hang the Jharokha on the east wall or The main feature wall of your living room â east is associated with new energy, sunlight, and openings in Vastu Shastra, a natural alignment for an architectural window piece. The north wall is also excellent â the direction of Kuber and abundance. This piece works especially well as a centrepiece above a console table.

- Home interiors with a Rajasthani, Indo-colonial, or eclectic aesthetic
- Boutique hotels, restaurants, and heritage properties celebrating Rajasthan’s identity
- Housewarming gifts â a statement piece admired for years
- Anyone who wants authentic Rajasthani architecture to live on their wall

Why Premloom Envision?
You will find similar-looking decor in many online stores. Here is the difference: every Premloom piece is made by a named artisan family in Rajasthan. No factories, no resellers, no mass production. When you order, a real craftsperson goes to work. The slight variation in grain, colour, or finish is not a defect — it is the signature of handmade work. Your piece will never be identical to anyone else’s. That is what you are paying for.
The heritage you are gifting
This piece is handmade and hand-finished by the artisan families we work with. We are a curator of artisan-made décor, not a factory, so each one carries the small variations that come from real craft, made to be displayed and kept rather than mass-produced and forgotten.
