One of the many watch towers patrolling the edges of the temple city of Amber. There are multiple walk ways in and around Amber, the whole circumference, various passage ways, secret tunnels and water channels, Man Singh I, really did splurge on creating a splendid home. #Heritage #Security #Passages #WatchTowers #KachwahaClan #Design #Aesthetic #Historic #Beaut #LimeAndStoneMasonry #Masonry #TraditionalBuildingMateiral #BuiltHeritage #Aesthetic #Chatris #Amber #TheTempleTownOfAmber #Jaipur #JaipurDiaries #JaipurJournal #Rajasthan #India #Wanderer #Wanderlust #Travel #Travelogue #TravelDiaries

Last one I promise!☝🏽 Amber Town, also known as Amer town, was occupied as a fortified citadel in the eleventh century. It was the capital city of the Kachwahas—a legendary Rajput clan that rose to power during the Middle Ages in what is now the northern Indian state of Rajasthan. Over the next seven centuries a series of impressive monuments were built, including the Kachwaha palace complex in the 1560s. The palace sits on the summit of the citadel, while several stone temples and havelis—or mansions—are on the slopes below. In the seventeenth century, a Mughal-influenced diwan-i am (public audience hall) was constructed, as well as a new royal residence and several gardens. The Kachwahas remained in Amber Town until the eighteenth century, when the capital shifted to the new city of Jaipur. Amber was essentially deserted, although few nobles remained, and the Kachwaha royals returned a few days each year, during a religious holiday. #Breathtaking #Panorama #JaiGarhFort #Amber #AmberTown #Heritage #Historic #KachwahaClan #City #Settlements #Splendour #Forts #Palaces #PalacesOfIndia #Views #ViewsForDays #Valley #Jaipur #JaipurDiaries #JaipurJournal #Rajasthan #India #Wanderer #Wanderlust #Travel #Travelogue #TravelDiaries (at Amber, India)
