Amber Fort is an architectural wonder steeped in history that's truly captivating. The grandeur and intricacies of this place are simply breathtaking, especially for enthusiasts passionate about architectural photography like myself.
Visiting during the off-season was a game-changer. The reduced crowds made it possible to appreciate the fort's beauty without feeling overwhelmed. Trust me, it's worth planning your visit during quieter times to soak in the grandeur without the hustle and bustle.
For history buffs, having a guide is invaluable. Their insights and explanations add layers to the experience, offering a deeper understanding of the fort's rich historical significance. It's fascinating to delve into the stories behind every wall and courtyard.
Despite the potential for crowds, Amber Fort remains a must-visit. Its architectural brilliance and historical depth make it an unforgettable stop, especially if you're passionate about capturing stunning visuals through photography.
Recently visited this fort. Absolutely loved it. The history and architecture is mind blowing. A good step by Rajasthan Government to cap the charges of guides at 400. Was able to get a jeep to show around all the 3 forts nearby. The crowd is too much though at the monument which does lead to traffic snarls before you can enter the fort. Able to buy a lot of things within the premises so makes it easier.
Amber Palace was beautiful in its design and scale and a must visit site for any travelling to India as a tourism hub. The intricate carvings and fortifications of red sandstone and white marble make it majestic wherever you were to look. It has a rich history of battles with cannons placed inside as protection during sieges. The architecture really showcases both indigenous and Mughal styles, the walls are filled with historically paintings and engineering intelligence. There is plenty of passive cooling for the king and his wives to stay cool in the summers and enjoy the view, as well as plenty of individual space for everyone. Within the inner buildings, the king had built a house for each wife, with each one as massive as the last.
As it was built for the King, there was not a need to accommodate anyone apart from his people, and therefore the dense population was not a concern. However, despite this, it is a fort, and it shows. It is capable of fitting thousands of troops to overlook and protect the King, with its vast outer walls stretching as if it was the Great Wall of China. It is truly surprising that the bulk of it was built in one lifetime but has remained standing for close to a thousand years now and looks to stand for another thousand after this. Truly showcasing its sustainability as a building.
