Amber Fort, Military palace in Jaipur district, India
The sandstone and marble palace stands on a hilltop above Maota Lake, with four levels of courtyards containing gardens and halls.
Raja Man Singh I initiated the construction of this fortified complex in 1592, serving as the capital of Rajasthan until 1727.
The Sheesh Mahal hall displays thousands of mirror fragments arranged in patterns reflecting natural light through geometric and floral designs.
The fort opens from 8:00 AM to 5:30 PM daily, with elephant rides to reach the entrance available during morning hours.
A subterranean tunnel connects the palace to Jaigarh Fort, allowing for secret movement between the two structures during conflicts.
