This is a good example of both a jharokha and a jali. A jharokha is the balcony (as seen in this entire picture) and a jali is the stone latticework that is done within it to protect the women from being seen by outsiders. While the women could see outside, it is impossible to see inside. In recent decades, the tradition of purdah (shielding oneself if you are a woman) has been broken by many.
