About of Amer Fort......
Amber Fort, popularly known as Amer Fort or Amer Palace, is one of the historical monuments that speak of India and its powerful Rajput kings. Located in Amer Rajasthan, the Fort is named after the city. It spreads over 1.5 sq. mi atop a gorgeous hill that overlooks the town of Amer. It is one of the major tourist attractions in India. Some unique temptations for the eyes at the Fort are Diwan-e-Aam, Diwan-e-Khaas, Sheesh Mehal etcetera.
Amer fort is known by a very usual name by the locals. They call it ‘Amer ka Kila” meaning “Fort of Amer”. Originally built by Raja Man Singh and completed in 1592, Amer Fort continues to throw back the visitors to the bygone days when the Rajput kings ruled the place and revelled in comfort and luxury with their queens and extensive royal entourages. The architecture of the Amer Fort is greatly inspired by the Maota Lake that it overlooks.
Coincidently, the lake is the only source of water for the Amer Palace.
A very interesting thing about Amer Fort is that it is just located parallelly to Jaigarh Fort. Both the Forts are connected through a subterranean passage that was built with the purpose to give a form of escape during the enemy attacks.
Rajasthan
Amer Fort, and the city that it’s located in, has a longstanding history. The very first construction of Amer Fort was started by Raja Kakil Dev in the 11th century.
The current Amer Fort was completed by Raja Man Sinch I in 1592. Before that, a place called Kadimi Mahal which is Persian for ‘Ancient Palace’, was the primary residence of the rulers in Amar. Kadimi Mahal is located just beyond the valley behind Amer Fort.
Amer Fort is a monument of the Medieval period wherein it was the official residence of the Kachwaha rulers of the Dhundar Kingdom. However, the Fort does not hold any remnants from its ancient past because, with rulers and dynasties changing continuously, the new kings and rulers would modify the structure as per their tastes and requirement.
