Amer fort

Captured in this beautiful click by Rizwan, the formidable, honey-hued fort of Amer is truly an ethereal example of Rajput architecture.

The former capital of Jaipur state, Amer was built by the Kachhwaha Rajputs, who hailed from Gwalior, where they reigned for over 800 years. 

The construction of the fort was begun in 1592 by Raja Man Singh, the Rajput commander of Akbar’s army.

The most memorable part of the complex? Has to be the famous Hall of Mirrors, patterned with intricate mirrors, mosaics, and glass.

The town of Amer, below the fort, is also worth visiting, especially the Anokhi Museum of Hand Printing. From the museum you can walk around the ancient town to the restored Panna Meena Baori (step-well) and Jagat Siromani Temple (known locally as the Meera Temple).
