This was a structure built out of Belgian mirror to provide a warm atmosphere due to reflection of sun rays inside the chamber by mirrors all over in winters...A structure worth seeing to appreciate the architect/ culture and richness of our people...

When I was there we were not allowed to go into the hall/s. So, our views were from the doorways inward. Quite spectacular. When one thinks of the detail work provided by the artisans, one is impressed to amazement.

Blew me away. For any patchworkers, there's inspiration abound here. I wish I could have taken it home with me.

This was a fabulous room in the Amber Palace. It's literally a whole room made with mirrors from top to bottom. Not sure why this is listed by itself and not part of the Palace.

First of all, Shesh Mahal is beautiful. The room is quite impressive and I'm dying to see the parts that are closed to the public. But I'm totally confused as why this would be listed as it's own attraction. As far as I know, you see it as part of the Amber Palace complex. Strange...

This place was a fairy-tale place and one can only imagine it at night, lit by candles reflected on the mirrors. Well-maintained, clean.

The sheer craftsmanship of the palace leaves you wonderstruck. Part of the Amer fort complex. Unfortunately you cant go in to fully appreciate the craftsmanship, the perimeter is cordoned off.
