I see at least three important elements of Indian architecture on this facade. One is Chhatri (or chatri - dome-shaped pavilion ) here engaged (or half buried) to form the second important element called Jharokha (or overhanging balconies) and the third element called Jali (or perforated stone or latticed screen) on balconies.
From Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hawa_Mahal
"Hawa Mahal ( translation: Palace of Winds), is a palace in Jaipur, India. It was built in 1799 by Maharaja Sawai Pratap Singh, and designed by Lal Chand Usta in the form of the crown of Krishna, the Hindu god. It forms part of the City Palace and extends the Zenana or women's chambers, the chambers of the harem. Its original intention was to allow royal ladies to observe everyday life in the street below without being seen."
Compare this building with Havali (or private residence) see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haveli
