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.
