The Amber Fort in India is built with milky white, light yellow, rose red and pure white stones. It looks like amber from a distance, so it is called the Amber Fort. The architecture of the Amber Fort is complex but exquisite. It is built against the mountain and is very imposing. The famous Mirror Palace in the Amber Fort is an exquisite pattern inlaid with tiny lenses. The exquisite technique is amazing!
There are also many castles in India, which may be the traces left over from years as a British colony. There are red Amber Fort, castles built in water, and royal castles, all of which are valuable cultural relics.

I recently visited the Nahargarh Fort in Jaipur during my trip in April and it was an unforgettable experience. The fort is located on a hilltop and offers stunning views of the city. It has a rich history and the architecture is beautiful. I highly recommend a visit to Nahargarh Fort for anyone traveling to Jaipur.
Nahargarh Fort, also known as Tiger Fort, was built in 1734 and expanded in 1868. Tiger Fort stands on a hill in the north of the old city of Jaipur and is a great place to watch the sunset.

The details carved on wooden parts and beautiful pottery
As well as the artwork on the armory and decorations

The building is carefully designed and built
Standing in the ring
It is not lonely
The traffic is endless
The pigeons are flying
No sun is shining on the roof
The whole ivory building
is a combination of British and Indian art
It is so beautiful and elegant~
In the center of Jaipur, there is a magnificent, beautiful and exquisitely constructed ancient building that caught my eye. This is the Albert Hall Museum. Among the exhibits is a 3,000-year-old female mummy from ancient Egypt.

Among the palaces of Jaipur, City Palace stands apart, with its outstanding art and architecture. Suggest edits to improve what we show. Explore different ways to experience this place.
This palace is located in jaipur which is capital of Rajasthan and also known by nick name, Pink city. This is easily accessible and there are many hotels and lodges are to stay here. I have visited this city many times and saw many historical places like hawa mahal, Jalmahal, Amer ka kila, City palace etc.
City palace is very nice palace which includes Mubarak mahal and Chandra mahal. This palace is initially made by Sawai Jai Singh II who was the king of Amber and other by its next rulers.

You can see the unique Indian style in Jaipur. The castles and buildings here are antique and charming, which makes people linger and feel relaxed and happy. There are also tourists from all over the world, which is worth a visit.
The crystallization of ancient Indian wisdom - Jaipur Observatory, the observatory is dotted with 14 major astronomical observation instruments, including the world's largest sundial, each of which has a special purpose. The twelve triangular buildings in the courtyard represent the twelve constellations, and the angle and direction of each constellation are very accurate.

The Water Palace is also a site of an ancient Indian dynasty. The palace building is quite large and you can see many sculptures with Indian characteristics. The building itself is also quite interesting. It is a rare place to learn about Indian architectural culture.
[Location] It is recommended to stop and take a photo on the way back to the city from Amber Fort.
[Background] This was originally the summer palace of the royal family of Rajasthan. Because there are many birds on the back mountain, the princes and nobles used to come here to hunt birds. It is said that there are three layers under the water and two layers above the water. After the royal privileges were abolished, it was once used by rich people to hold parties, but now in order to protect cultural relics, such use is not allowed.
[Scenery] The reflection is very beautiful, with the background of mountains and waters, it feels like an oil painting. Occasionally, there are flying birds flying over the water or landing on the lake near the water.
[Surroundings] There are many small vendors by the lake, selling colorful snacks, or chasing you to ask if you want to take pictures, just refuse.
There is a platform in the middle of the lake, so you can avoid taking pictures of the fence; you can also pass through the barbed wire, but the line of sight is lower, and you should also pay attention to safety.

Not only can you learn about Hinduism, but also about an attraction of Indian architecture. The entire temple is constructed of white marble, giving a holy and sacred feeling. It is dedicated to Hindu gods. There are many details such as various statues and inscriptions on the walls, which are worth a careful visit.
The full name of the Birla Temple is "Birla Lakshmi Narayan Temple". It is a modern marble building on a mountain. It was built in 1986 and is relatively new, so we just visited the periphery and left.
The temple was built in 1986 and is a modern temple made of white marble. The deity Vishnu (a trinity of Hindu gods) and his consort Lakshmi (the goddess of wealth and good luck) are enshrined here. The sunset casts a pink and golden light on the Birla Temple, and its white body becomes blushing and shy. Some people say that Indian architecture likes to use white. Indeed, coming here can prove that no color can replace the holiness and perfection of white. The colored glass depicts scenes from the Hindu scriptures. The main god enshrined in the temple is Ganesh, the protector of the family. The marble is of fine quality. When you enter the temple and look back at the entrance, you can see the reflection of Ganesh carved on the lintel on the almost transparent marble surface.
It is a private temple of the Birla family, the second largest conglomerate in India. Its founder, Gonsaya Birla, met Mahatma Gandhi and became Gandhi's unwavering follower, leading the entire family to provide financial support for India's independence movement. Of course, his political investment won rich returns. Thanks to government support, the Birla family became a famous and prosperous family that controls the economic lifeline of India.
It is one of the first temples in India without caste restrictions. Therefore, Mahatma Gandhi, who has always opposed the exclusion of low castes, attended the first worship event after the temple was built.
Transportation: The attractions in the new city of Jaipur are relatively far apart. It is recommended to charter a car to visit and hire a tuk-tuk to take you to visit various attractions in the city. The cost of half a day/one day is about 200/400 rupees. Tickets are "free" Opening hours: Normal opening: 07:00–10:00, 16:00–21:00

Amber Palace & Lake Palace views
Ancient castle from 1036
Verified user reviews
The Amber Palace outside the ancient city area is free to climb. It is a typical European-style palace. The only difference between the "Great Wall" and ours is that the battlements are Muslim-style pointed arches. Climbing up the mountain, you can overlook the endless panorama of the ancient city, but unfortunately it is shrouded in a serious haze. There are few tourists here and it is unusually quiet. The Wind Palace and the ancient palace complex in the center of the ancient city are the most essential parts.
Jaipur doesn't seem to have anything to do with the dirtiness and chaos of India, but it has rich tourism resources, like this magnificent castle, which attracts tourists from all over the world to stop here. It is still worth a visit.
