Jaalis in Indian Architecture

My mom said: Son, when a dust storm comes, all the aesthetics will be gone, dust will easily enter inside. 😁

Venturi Effect: When hot air passes through the small holes of a jali, the speed of the airflow increases and pressure drops, creating a cooling effect.

Evaporative Cooling: In dry, hot Rajasthan air, jalis let in wind while reducing direct sunlight, enhancing comfort.

Air Circulation: Jalis are placed on opposite walls to maintain cross-ventilation, constantly pushing out warm air.

It would be so nice if modern-day architects incorporate these traditional Indian features into new buildings instead of copying western countries and glass towers.

Reflecting light from glass walls, Bernoulli's way of airflow by windcatchers, like at stairs , it's cold, the wet Kush curtains , the triangular ceilings etc

We have a similar thing in West African architecture. Very cool!

Interesting, we have these in Somalia also.

Please don't say mughals brought Architecture in Bharat 😂

I love the thin marble ones that are translucent enough to let in a little light

Geothermal cooling system

This should be implemented in modern day apartments as well

Morden architecture is ugly
