The city's historic landmark Hawa Mahal has turned a shade lighter in some parts after enthusiastic civic authorities used water pressure hoses to clean the 18th century monument ahead of Parvasi Bhartiya Divas.
Built of red and pink sandstone in 1799, the "Palace of Breeze" was washed with water by fire tenders, but it resulted in fading of its traditional colour on several lattices.

Historians and heritage lovers said that the exercise, which was undertaken on Tuesday night, left some colourless patches in some portions of the monument.
The city is being decked up for the Pravasi Bhartiya Diwas which begins tomorrow.
Another historian Raghvendra Singh said, "The monument's colour has faded in some parts and the method adopted by the authorities to clean it, was wrong".
However, officials of the Archaeology department said the cleaning exercise has removed dirt from the monument but it has not lost its colour.
