Man Singh I, a Kachwaha ruler of Jaipur, and a military leader
in the service of the Mughal Emperor Akbar, built the beautiful
Amer Palace. The Amer Palace in Jaipur is situated within
the Amer Fort. The Ganesh Pole, Jai Mandir, Sheesh Mahal and
Sukh Niwas are structures of historical interest in this beautiful
palace characterized by its luxury and splendor. The Palace
was built to excel Mughal palaces with elements of both Rajput
and Mughal architecture. The formal gardens, grand rooms and
opulent design of the Amer Palace, makes it worth seeing on
a visit to Jaipur.
Some of the impressive structures that should not be missed
on a tour of Amer Palace are the Sheesh Mahal - a brilliant
hall of Mirrors, the Jai Mandir or "Temple of Victory" and
the Sukh Niwas. The Sukh Niwas has an ingenious air conditioning
system where channels of water are explosed the air. As the
air wafts across it, it is cooled - providing relief to the
courtiers in the Sukh Niwas, in the beautiful Amer Palace.
