It was then that the Jali was introduced to me, or the Indian Architectural take on the perforated screen. A jali if you look it up in an Architectural book will usually return lots of results about Mughal Architecture like the Taj Mahal, however in India I soon found out, it is used everywhere for all types of buildings and all budgets. The Jali method then for brick buildings at least is to miss out bricks in a wall to make an opening which will let in light and air but still preserve privacy.
