The shot below was taken from the Charurbhuj Temple. On the left is Ram Raja Temple and in the extreme right the two towers are Wind Towers. In the center is Phool Bagh Palace.
Next to Phool Bagh palace, are the cooling towers which caught the prevailing wind. The huge towers would capture the hot winds and produce a cooling effect over the entire area.

Here, in NY State, it's in the 90's {F.} and we could use 'cooling towers!'

Very beautiful. Have a nice weekend.
This is a fantastic view, Rajesh.
This looks as if it would be a wonderful summer palace. The cooling towers are fascinating -- very ingenious.
Is the weather very hot now? It must be so cooling inside the temples.
How interesting about the cooling towers. Sounds like today's architects could adopt the idea.
Beautiful view and skies! A wonderful skywatch shot!
Nice and lovely shots !!Fantastic !!
How do they do the cooling?...very interesting
cool !
Hi Rajesh:)
Lovely photo with very interesting information. I wish we had some way of cooling our houses without the use of air conditioners and fans which will not only save power but also contribute to a healthy life.We have to learn a lot of things from our ancestors for a safe,clean and healthy environment.
Best wishes:)

Another incredible place. I can't help but wonder who paid for these palaces and where the money came from.
We maybe could use more of those cooling towers today!
Beautiful capture!
My Blue Monday.
Beautiful shot, thanks for the mini tour.
Happy Blue Monday, Rajesh!
I like those blue skies.
The wind towers ( air coolers !) are very interesting structures.
Reminded of the wind towers in Old Dubai area.
Thanks to all for the appreciation. The cooling towers are even new to me. They block or cut the speed of hot blowing air.
WONDERFUL CLICK.
great piece of info ...
Do they really cool?...there is so much I can learn from your posts!
There's one such summer palace at Bangalore but m not sure about the cooling thingy.
Anyway, nice picture and thanks for sharing the information about the palace. :)
Pratibha, Dheeraj: Thanks for the appreciation.
Nalni: Thank you. It was winter season when I was there.
Nethra: Thank you. Bangalore palace is different from this.
