Jaipur - Palace of winds

Jaipur - about 300km located at the west of Dehli is famous and known by this building - erected in typical local pink sandstones !
The palace counts 5 stairs - is builded in that way that the wind is ventilating the building naturaly.
It was the palace of the marahadjahs women - giving them the occasion to look at the local people - but behind windows !

I've seen many pix of Palace of the Winds but almost never the interior. What's it like? Are we allow to go inside?
