Jaipur - the pink city..
Visiting Jaipur in April is not so comfortable because of the HOT weather. This busy city has so many beautiful places to visit, however I've been to places as many as my health can stand with the hot weather.
My favorite one was the Amber Fort or you can call the Amber Palace. It is an amazing and enormous place that human had built long time ago. I can imagine how powerful this city was!!
Anyway, the most beautiful place in Jaipur for me is Hawa Mahal or the wind palace. I love how they designed and colored this palace so much. Jaipur has so many places and products to see, but I only had 3 days to stay. Hopefully I'll be back here again..#hawamahal #amberfort #Citypalace #jaipur
Mesmerising Details at Amber Fort
One of the gates in #amerfort called #ganeshpole or #ganeshgate. I fell for the meticulous artworks of this entrance. Notice the small window? It is known as Suhag Mandir where ladies of the royals used to watch functions held in the Diwan-i-Am through the latticed windows #theguidetoldus
anyway, apart from pale yellow & pink sandstone, the magnificent #amerfort #amberfort is also made up of glowing white marble. from the turkish bath, the diwan, the chamber and everything in between.
as you look up to the ceiling, to your right, left and beneath your feet, every detailing was just mesmerising and we had so much fun appreciating the beauty of this place
