Elephant ride on the cobbled pathway at Amer (Amber) Fort Jaipur India
The fort palace of Amber was the Kachhawaha citadel until 1727, when their capital moved to Jaipur. Successive rulers continued to come here on important occasions to seek the blessings of the family deity, Shila Devi. The citadel was established in 1592 by Man Singh I on the remains of an old 11th-century fort, but the various buildings added by Jai Singh I (–67) are what constitute its magnificent centrepiece.
