Before the City Palace was built in Jaipur, Amber was the seat of power. The fort is surrounded by fortified battlements and overlooks the Lake of the Moat. Ruins and remains are scattered on the hills of Aravalli and the large walls are walled in latticework over the surrounding area. An elephant (alternatively with the jeeps) will save you the trouble of reaching the fortress. Once at the top, stroll through the sprawling complex of courtyards and halls. Many of the rooms have delightful murals, with precious stones and inlaid mirrors in the walls. The most fascinating, perhaps, is the Sheesh Mahal (hall of mirrors) where a single light from a lamp is reflected in the many mirrors, illuminating the room.
En route to Amber Fort you will stop and see the "Palace of the Winds", otherwise known as the Hawa Mahal. It is indeed an elaborate facade behind which the courthouse ladies used to look at the daily alleys in the street below. It is extremely intricate in its pink sandstone sculpture. The cold wind blows through its facade of windows and latticed screens through which the queens of the court watched the streets of the city.
you will visit the City Palace, which is an overwhelming complex of exquisite palaces, gardens and courtyards, decorative art and carved doors. The palace museum houses collections of rare manuscripts, armor, costumes, carpets and miniatures.
Jaipur's Jantar Mantar is the most famous of the five observatories built by Sawai Jai Singh in India. Jai Singh was a great admirer of advances and research in science and technology, but he was passionate about astronomy. There is a very interesting story behind the construction of this observatory, which is considered the largest stone observatory in the world. Sawai Jai Singh sent his emissaries to all parts of the world before starting the construction of this observatory. The emissaries returned with many astronomy manuals containing cutting-edge technological information. One of these manuals was a copy of La Hire's "Tables". The king ordered that the observatory be built according to the details contained in this manual. When construction was finished, to the amazement of the king and others, the observatory was 20 seconds more accurate than the one mentioned in "Table". Overnight at Hotel.
