The Legend of Magadha in the Golden Mountain City#Amber Fort - Jaipur, India

#SeptemberDestinations2025
Amber Fort, formerly known as Amer Fort, is located on a hill 11 kilometers north of Jaipur in Rajasthan, India. Built in 1592 by King Man Singh I, Amber Fort boasts a commanding position on a steep, impenetrable terrain. Surrounded by winding walls and a moat, the fort is meticulously crafted from red sandstone and white marble, blending Mughal influences with traditional Rajasthani architecture to create a fortress that is both sturdy and magnificent. Before entering Amber Fort, a herd of elephants gathers at the foot of the hill, where visitors are led slowly along the road towards the fort. The Amber Fort has several highlights, including the Suraj Pol (Victory Gate), the Diwan-i-Aam (People's Hall), the Sheesh Mahal (Mirror Palace), the Jai Mandir (Victory Palace), and the Kesar Kyari (Ceylon Garden). The fort's geometrically designed gardens, resembling a maze, once cultivated precious saffron for the royal family. After the tour, jeeps are available to take visitors down the hillside next to the fort, allowing for a complete walk from the ascent to the descent. The only time you'll need to move your legs is during the Amber Fort visit, a truly thoughtful gesture.
