Jaipur Forts

Amer Fort

Set in a picturesque location, 11 KM from Jaipur on the Jaipur-Delhi route is Amer, the ancient capital of the erstwhile Jaipur State of the Kachhhwaha rulers. Its construction was started in 1592 by Raja Man Singh I, The spots worth visiting at Amer are the Diwan-E-Am, Diwan-E-Khas, the Sheesh Mahal with exquisite mirror work, the Sukh Niwas, the Shila Mata Temple and Jagat Shiromani Temple with exquisite carving work on the Toran Dwar and the well laid out garden, Kesar Kyari (Mohan Bari).

Amer constructed over a period of two centuries is a facinating blend of Hindu and Muslim architecture and even today it is a formidable edifice easily accessible on foot, by car or jeep or in the royal style - on an elephant back.
