A grand hilltop fort in Jaipur, known for its artistic blend of Hindu and Mughal architecture, magnificent palaces, and cobbled paths.
Amer Fort, also known as Amber Fort, is a massive fort-palace complex located on a hill overlooking Maota Lake. Built from pale yellow and pink sandstone and white marble, it is a primary example of Rajput architecture. The fort is divided into four main sections, each with its own courtyard. Visitors enter through the Suraj Pol (Sun Gate), which leads to Jaleb Chowk, the first main courtyard where armies would hold victory parades. From here, a grand staircase leads to the main palace complex. Inside, you will find impressive structures like the Diwan-i-Aam (Hall of Public Audience) with its rows of pillars, and the ornate Ganesh Pol, a magnificent gateway that provides access to the private palaces of the Maharajas. The most famous attraction within the fort is the Sheesh Mahal (Mirror Palace), where the walls and ceilings are covered with intricate mirror mosaics that glitter with the light of a single candle. You can also explore the Sukh Niwas (Hall of Pleasure), which has a clever natural air conditioning system. The expansive ramparts offer great views of the surrounding hills and the city.
