Joypur – The Pink City

The Ganesh Pol and its magnificent architecture in Amer Fort, Jaipur.

The Rajputs were known for the colours, and intricacies in their achitecture. A beautiful archway in Amer Fort, Jaipur.

A wonderful glimpse of Elephants in the palace courtyard shot through a Jharokha. 

One can also have a tour of the palace courtyard on the back of elephants… 🙂 Visible here are also the graceful Aravallis overlooking the palace. The external boundary wall of the city of Amer is also visible running through the range.

A small portion of the grandeur that was the Sheesh Mahal (Palace of Mirrors), Amer Fort, Jaipur. It was a delight to yourself reflected in the tiniest of mirrors engraved in the walls!

The colours.. the patterns..

Every window, every doorway, every archway.. everywhere I turned my head, I saw the wonders of craftsmanship, labour and beauty…

Another pattern in the Sheesh Mahal, Amer Fort, Jaipur.

Capturing myself in the perfectly round inlaid mirrors in the ceiling of the Sheesh Mahal 🙂
