Jaali means perforated stone or Latticed Screen, a form of architectural decoration commonly used in Indo-islamic or in Islamic architecture. [font=sans-serif]This Jaali helps to lower the temperature by compressing the air in its way through the holes of the screen.[/font][font=sans-serif] When the air passes through these openings, its velocity increases giving immense diffusion [/font]and it feels colder. When sunlight comes through this Jaali inside the building, it looks dreamy like this.
