Built by Maharaja Man Singh in 1592, Amer Fort was the main residence of the Rajput rulers. Amer Fort is also called Amber Fort. The fort is so big that it will take you at least two to three hours to see it in detail. The fort can be climbed through its long staircase. Or you can take an elephant ride till Amer Fort.

The Amer Fort has four sections, each with a beautifully decorated entrance and courtyard. The main entrance to the fort is called 'Suraj Pol' or 'Sun Gate' which leads to the first courtyard. This gateway got its name because it faces the rising sun. The name of the first courtyard is 'Jaleb Chowk'. It was the place where armies held victory parades on their return from war.

The staircase from Jaleb Chowk leads to the main palace grounds. Amer Fort is influenced by Hindu and Rajputana style of architecture. In the second courtyard is the Diwan-i-Aam. It is a huge hall open from three sides. The king used to hold meetings here to hear the petitions of the public.

The third courtyard is entered through the Ganesh Pol or the Ganesh Gate. There are two buildings in the courtyard opposite to each other. The building to the left of the entrance is called Jai Mandir. Its interior is decorated with stained-glass that glowed in candlelight. Due to the glass works, this building is also known as Sheesh Mahal. Sheesh Mahal was built by Raja Man Singh around the 16th century. Opposite Sheesh Mahal is Sukh Niwas or Sukh Mahal. Its walls are decorated with marble works. The garden situated between Jai Mandir and Sukh Niwas has been designed on the lines of Mughal Garden.

In the fourth courtyard lived the royal ladies. There are many rooms in this courtyard where the queens lived and with whom the kings used to meet.

There is a street full of shops in the fort which is known as Meena Bazaar. These shops sell art, textiles, jewelery and many other items. This is where the famous Jodha Akbar movie was shot. Amer Fort is also popular for its light and sound show which is held at night.

Many people are unaware that there is a stepwell right next to the huge fort, which was built in the 16th century. The Panna Meena ka Kund was built for the people of Amer, which was later used by the surrounding temples. Panna Meena ka Kund is a square stepwell with steps on all four sides and a room on the northern wall. Panna Meena ka Kund is a small stepwell in Rajasthan but it’s worth visiting.
