VISITING HISTORY - AMER FORT, RAJASTHAN
Amer Fort rests high on a hill surrounded by Maota Lake, a
few kilometers away from Jaipur city. Built by the Rajput Ruler Raja Maan Singh
and his descendants around 9th century, the Amer fort also known as
Amber Palace was the original capital of the Rajputs till Jaipur was built.
This architectural spectacle is constructed using res
sandstone and marble and has an array of smaller palaces inside it – summer
palace, winter palace, sheesh mahal (glass palace), temples and more.
I visited the fort in the afternoon and had the opportunity
of enjoying its splendor during sun set as well. Plenty of photo opportunities,
a day well spent!
