Amber Fort

This opulent 16th-century Maharaja’s palace is a unique mix of Hindu and Muslim designs. 

The resplendent Amber Fort sprawls along the top of a natural hill outside the city of Jaipur. Historically significant and architecturally stunning, Amber Fort (pronounced AH-meer) is a well-preserved monument from the glorious days of Rajput rule in Rajasthan.

The Diwan-i-Khas includes an ornamental garden and the dazzling Sheesh Mahal, Hall of Mirrors. The walls of the Sheesh Mahal are covered in an intricate mosaic of shards of mirror and colored glass. It’s one of the treasures of Amber Fort, astounding visitors with the beauty of the cut Belgian glass.
Apparently, this room was made by the Maharaja so that the Maharani (queen) could see the stars at night, as she was not allowed to sleep in the open. When candles are lit at night, the room seems to reflect thousands of stars from the walls and ceiling.
