But along with this, Rajasthan is also famous for its historical forts and heritage sites. The real reason is that foreigners come to visit Rajasthan every year. Amer Fort of Jaipur, the capital of Rajasthan is famous all over the world. It was constructed in the 16th century. This fort is an example of Rajasthani architecture and culture. Amer Fort, built on a high hill, looks huge and beautiful from a distance. If you are a history lover then you must know about many things to this fort. Here we are going to tell you some special things about Amer Fort.
The construction of Amer Fort was started by Raja Man Singh in the late 16th century. However, the current construction was completed by Sawai Jai Singh II and Raja Jai Singh I. It took 100 years to complete during the reign of Raja Man Singh to Sawai Jai Singh II and Raja Jai Singh I. The story behind the temple is interesting. It is said that Goddess Kali appeared in the dream of Raja Man Singh and asked him to search for her idol on the banks of Jessore (near Bangladesh). The king did as he was told in the dream, but not finding the idol of the Mother there, he returned to Amer with a big stone. The king’s servants cleaned the stone to find the image of Shila Devi. Due to which the temple of Shila Devi was built.
One of the fascinating sights inside the fort is the walls of Sheesh Mahal or Mirror Palace which are carved with concave mirrors. These have been installed in such a way that if even one light comes on, the entire palace sparkles. Sheesh Mahal has been a favorite place of Bollywood directors. Jaigarh Fort was a fort built for the king’s army stationed in Amer Fort. A 2 km long tunnel was built from Amer Fort, this tunnel connects to Jaigarh Fort. This tunnel was built for a war-like situation, so that the king could be safely evacuated from here. Seeing this type of plan shows that the king was aware of the war.
