Amer Fort Jaipur, built-in 1592 by Maharaja Man Singh I, one of Akbar's most loyal generals, served as the Rajput rulers' principal home. Raja Man Singh, the Kachwaha King of Amer, eventually built the famed fort on the ruins of the city Amer.

The city of Amer has grown in popularity as the birthplace of Princess Jodha, Akbar's Consort. Raja Man Singh was an ally in Akbar's court. As a result, many of the fort's structures are influenced by Mughal architecture.

Its reflection is found in the Amer Palace's Diwan-i-Khas. On the other side, Jai Singh I finished and expanded the fort. In the palace, he constructed a magnificently painted Ganesh poll, which continues to captivate many visitors. Along with their families, the Rajput Maharajas lived at this palace.

The Amer Fort architecture is influenced by traditional Hindu and Rajputana styles. It is made of marble and red sandstone, giving it a rustic and mysterious appearance. Intricate paintings depict historical hunting traditions, as well as portraits of important Rajput monarchs. This Fort is divided into four portions, each with its courtyard and entrance. 

The Sun Gate leads to the fort's main entrance, which is located in the center courtyard. This east-facing entrance was given its name because of its stance about the soaring sun. The imposing stairways lead to the royal complex and the spectacular 'Jaleb Chowk' courtyard. The fort's second floor is the Diwan-e-Aam (Public Audience Hall). It's a big space with three sides open.

Elephant Ride

The show lasts around an hour and ends when the opening to the public is described. The show ticket is INR 100 and may be purchased at the box office. The show re-enacts the glorious history of the Rajput emperors who established the magnificent fort. 

At night, the fort is illuminated with hypnotic lights. There are numerous illustrations of the Rajput monarchs' resilience and splendor throughout the saga played. The narrator, Amitabh Bachhan, has a unique voice, which expands to the show's iconic level. Gulzar has written a great narrative for the show.

Puppet Show

Rajasthan is a desert, hence it is humid all year, at least throughout the day. The sun can be harsh at times. As a result, the best time to visit Amber Fort Jaipur is in the winter, from November to March.
