At a short distance of 11 kms . from Jaipur, the
Amer Fort complex stands amidst wooded hills
overlooking the Delhi-Jaipur highway, with its
forbidding ramparts reflected in the still
waters of the Maota Lake below.
One of the finest examples of Rajput
architecture, it was the ancient capital of the
Kachhawah rulers. The original palace was built
by Raja Man Singh and additions were made later
by Sawai Jai Singh.
Within the palace are the Diwan-e-Aam or the
"Hall of Public Audience", the Diwan-e-Khas or
the "Hall of Private Audience" and the Sukh Niws
where a cool breeze blows across channels of
water for the purpose of air-conditioning.
Here are the private chambers of the queens with
windows having latticed screens so that the
ladies could watch the proceedings of the royal
court inprivacy. There is also the Jai Mandir or
the "Temple of Vicotry", with its famed Sheesh
