The Marvellous Amber Fort 2025
Amber Fort, also known as Amer Fort, is located in the town of Amer, Rajasthan. Amer covers an area of about four square kilometres and lies just 11 kilometres from Jaipur, the present-day capital of Rajasthan.
The town of Amer and its majestic fort were originally built by Raja Man Singh, with later additions made by Raja Jai Singh I. Constructed in red sandstone and marble, Amber Fort is a striking example of the Rajput and Mughal architecture. The fort is laid out over four levels and courtyards. These consist of the Jaleb Chowk, Diwan-e-Aam, Diwan-e-Khas, Sheesh Mahal, and Sukh Niwas. The fourth courtyard consists of the Zenana Mahal, which was home to the royal family and was built for the women of the palace.
Amber Fort overlooks the Maota Lake. Also, the Amber Fort and Jaigarh Fort are often considered a single complex, as they are connected by an underground passage that once served as an escape route in times of war. Today, it is a popular destination, attracting countless visitors, including travellers from around the world, who come to admire its heritage and history. Amber Fort is one of the six Hill Forts of Rajasthan, along with Chittorgarh, Jaisalmer, Kumbhalgarh, Ranthambore, and Gagron, that were collectively included in the UNESCO World Heritage Site list in 2013.
We recommend that everyone visit Amber Fort as it is a cultural treasure that has been preserved for centuries. Exploring the Amber Fort taught us about our heritage and history. It is important to learn more about our monuments.
