History of Amber Fort
Nestled in the Aravalli Hills, the Amber Fort is a spellbinding blend of Hindu and Mughal architecture. Built in 1592 by Raja Man Singh, it served as the primary residence of the Rajput Maharajas. This spectacular fortress is renowned for its artistic Hindu elements, massive ramparts, and series of gates and cobbled paths.
Architecture
The Amber Fort showcases an eclectic mix of red sandstone and white marble. Its grandeur is highlighted by the intricate designs of the Sheesh Mahal (Mirror Palace), the Diwan-e-Aam (Public Audience Hall), and the Sukh Niwas, where artificially created winds cascade over water to mimic a cool climate. 🏰✨
