As you visit Amber Fort, be prepared to be stunned by the beauty and fascinating marble work decoration of Amber Fort. Built in white marble and red sandstone, the charm of Amber Fort is amazing.

Experience this breath taking view and you will surely wish to return again. Make memories that you will cherish throughout life as you tour Rajasthan.
Build in the year 1592, the significance of Amber Fort is immense in historical context. The craggy and rough exterior of the fort is completely different from its soothing, pleasant interior. As you enter the fort, the minute mirror work and intricate carvings is sure to leave you open mouthed. The fort upholds the fusion decoration of Hindu and Muslim art. Carvings of hunting pictures are also depicted on the walls of the fort, symbolizing the temperament of the Rajputs who were well known as adventurous, revolutionary and self indulgent.
To enter the fort, you have to pass through the Dil-e-Aaram garden which is done in Mughal style. A majestic flight of stairs leads you through latticed galleries to the small kali Temple of Maharaja Man Singh. There is another white marble kali temple where Rajputs used to pray before going for wars. The doors of this temple are made of silver.
