Mentions the description in the UNESCO List of World Heritage Sites in a book in my personal library, inter alia:
" Hill Forts of Rajasthan: The serial site, situated in the state of Rajasthan, includes six majestic forts in Chittorgarh, Kumbhalgarh, Sawai Madhopur, Jhalawar, Jaipur and Jaisalmer. The eclectic architecture of the forts, some up to 20 kilometers in circumference, bears testimony to the power of the Rajput princely states that flourished in the region from the 8th to the 18th centuries. Enclosed within the walls are major urban centres, palaces, trading centres and other buildings including temples that often predate the fortifications within which developed an elaborate courtly culture that supported learning, music and the arts.
Some of the urban centres enclosed in the fortifications have survived, as have many of the site's temples and other sacred buildings. The forts use the natural defences offered by the landscape - hills, deserts, rivers and dense forests. They also feature extensive water harvesting structures, largely still in use today.
The series of six massive forts are architectural manifestations of Rajput valour, bravery, feudalism and cultural traditions, documented in several historic texts and paintings of the medieval and late medieval period in India."

The Amer or Amber Fort history:
In 967 AD, the original structure of the Fort was built by Raja Alan Singh ruler of the Chanda clan of the Meenas. He is believed to have given shelter to an old woman with a child who was seeking refuge in his kingdom. He raised the child in his family - Dhola Rae - who was sent to Delhi to spread the legacy of the Meena kingdom. Instead he came back with an army of Kachwaha Rajputs and attacked and massacred everyone, including children, on Diwali day, when they were involved in religious rituals, in an act which was as shameful as it was cowardly.
In 1036, the first Rajput structure was started by Raja Kakil Dev when he made Amer his capital.
In 1036, the first Rajput structure was started by Raja Kakil Dev when he made Amer his capital.
In 1592, much of Amber's current buildings were started by Raja Man Singh of the Kachwaha Clan began reconstructing the Amer Fort after destroying the old structure built by Raja Alan Singh on top of the hill. The fort was mostly constructed using red sandstone and white marble, which was found in abundance in Rajasthan. The fort served as the main residence of the Rajput Rajas.
Till the late 16th Century, the fort underwent continuous renovations and improvements under the reigns of various Rajput Rajas. In subsequent renovations/modifications, the fort was made to look more like a palatial residence of the Rajas.
In 1727, Jaipur became the capital of the Rajput kings and no further renovations/changes in appearance took place in the Amer Fort, thereafter.
Many of the ancient structures of the medieval period built by the Meenas have been either destroyed or replaced.
The Fort Layout:
The Amer Fort comprises four different sections, with each section having its own gate and courtyard.
The first gate - the main entrance - is "Suraj Pol" (Sun Gate), which faces East. The Sun Gate leads to the first courtyard named "Jalebi Chowk". This was the place where victorious Rajput armies assembled to celebrate their victories.
The front courtyard of the fort complex is adorned with the splendid, pillared hall of the "Diwan-e-Aam" and the two-tiered painted gateway - the "Ganesh Pol".
India Post had brought out the above 2500 Stamp (or Rs.25/-) in a series of 12 stamps titled "Splendour of India" in January 2017. The description reads - "The above stamp depicts the "Ganesh Pol" (Pol means "Gate" or "Entrance"), which is located in the main palace of the Amber Fort. It is strategically important as entry through this gate was exclusive to the Kings to get into their private chambers. Ganesh Pol is a fusion of Mughal and Rajput architectural styles, famous for its ornamental archways and fine lattice-work."
The entrance of the Amer fort is through the "Dil-e-Aaram" Garden, which presents a Mughal style. A stairway leads to the "Diwan-e-Aam" ( Hall of public audience) which has latticed galleries and double row of columns - each having a capital in the shape of elephants on top. This hall is built on the second courtyard. To the right are steps going to the Goddess Shila Devi Temple, of the Chaitanya Cult.
Two magnificent buildings are there in the third courtyard - the Jai Mandir (Victory Temple) and the Sheesh Mahal (Palace of mirrors). Another building is the "Sukh Mahal" or "Sukh Niwas" (Hall of Pleasure).
Towards the Southern area of this courtyard is the famous palace built by Raja Man singh I, which is the oldest structure in the entire fort.
The fourth courtyard was the one in which the royal women used to live - collectively known as the "Zenana Deorhi" (the "ladies living area").
Tripolia Gate (meaning "three gates") is an access to the palace from the West. It opens in three directions - one to the Jalebi chowk, another to the Man Singh Palace and the third one to the Zenana Deorhi".
The Lion Gate - the premier gate is covered with frescos and its alignment is zig-zag, for security considerations to fight/hold back intruders.

The Architectural styles of Amer Fort:
The architectural style of Amer Fort is a blend of Mughal and Rajput architecture.
One of the best examples of this style within the fort is "Ganesh Pol" (meaning the "Ganesh Gate"). which is embellished with mosaics, making it look colourful and grand.
The forts main attractions are the Jai Mandir and the Sheesh Mahal:
The Jai Mandir, on the upper floor is asuperb blend of Mughal and Rajput styles of architecture with its elegantly carved "Jalli" (netted) screens and stucco work. It has a huge opening which is covered with sandalwood doors. A special feature of this structure is the flow of water through the building, making the entire hall air-conditioned.
The Sheesh Mahal has walls inlaid with exquisite mirrors and even one lighted candle presented a spectacular illumination, which highlighted the architectural brilliance of this magnificent structure. The mirrors used in this palace are convex in nature.

Some other features of the Fort/palace include:
The marble magic flower (which depicts two hovering butterflies), palace of Man Singh, the pavilion and the garden. The flower has seven unique designs including a fish tail, lotus, hooded cobra, elephant trunk, lion's tail, corn cob and a scorpion each one of which is visible by a special way of partially hiding the panel with one's hands.
Here we see an elephant - pic by Sumita in her blog post
A star shaped pool in the centre of the garden.
There is also a fourth court-yard which has a special design. If the Kings had to visit their queens and mistresses in secret, no one could make out which room the King would enter as the courtyard with multiple rooms had a common corridor.
The walls of Amber Fort are adorned with paintings of hunting and war along with precious stones and mirrors set into the plaster.
The Maota Lake in the front gives beautiful reflections of the Amer Fort.
The Amer Palace along with the Jaigarh fort located immediately above the "Cheel Ka Teela" (Hill of Eagles) on the same range of the Aravalli Hills are considered to be one complex as the two are connected by a subterranean passage which was an escape route in times or war for the royal family members to shift to the more redoubtable Jaigarh Fort.

Conservation of the Fort:
The Amer Development and Management Authority (ADMA) makes constant efforts to safeguard the fort from the depredations of time and wear and tear.

The architectural style of Amer Fort is a blend of Mughal and Rajput architecture.
One of the best examples of this style within the fort is "Ganesh Pol" (meaning the "Ganesh Gate"). which is embellished with mosaics, making it look colourful and grand.
The forts main attractions are the Jai Mandir and the Sheesh Mahal:
The Jai Mandir, on the upper floor is asuperb blend of Mughal and Rajput styles of architecture with its elegantly carved "Jalli" (netted) screens and stucco work. It has a huge opening which is covered with sandalwood doors. A special feature of this structure is the flow of water through the building, making the entire hall air-conditioned.
The Sheesh Mahal has walls inlaid with exquisite mirrors and even one lighted candle presented a spectacular illumination, which highlighted the architectural brilliance of this magnificent structure. The mirrors used in this palace are convex in nature.
Some other features of the Fort/palace include:
The marble magic flower (which depicts two hovering butterflies), palace of Man Singh, the pavilion and the garden. The flower has seven unique designs including a fish tail, lotus, hooded cobra, elephant trunk, lion's tail, corn cob and a scorpion each one of which is visible by a special way of partially hiding the panel with one's hands.
A star shaped pool in the centre of the garden.
There is also a fourth court-yard which has a special design. If the Kings had to visit their queens and mistresses in secret, no one could make out which room the King would enter as the courtyard with multiple rooms had a common corridor.
The walls of Amber Fort are adorned with paintings of hunting and war along with precious stones and mirrors set into the plaster.
The Maota Lake in the front gives beautiful reflections of the Amer Fort.
The Amer Palace along with the Jaigarh fort located immediately above the "Cheel Ka Teela" (Hill of Eagles) on the same range of the Aravalli Hills are considered to be one complex as the two are connected by a subterranean passage which was an escape route in times or war for the royal family members to shift to the more redoubtable Jaigarh Fort.
Conservation of the Fort:
The Amer Development and Management Authority (ADMA) makes constant efforts to safeguard the fort from the depredations of time and wear and tear.
