Daydreaming. In the footsteps of once mighty emperors.

Much more interesting: . A watch tower at Amber Fort, in Rajasthan, India. Built over four centuries ago, Amber Fort is a treasure trove of visual delights (in addition to being rich in historical and cultural significance). Amber (pronounced Amer) is situated about 11 kilometres from Jaipur, in the state of Rajasthan, in India. It was the ancient citadel of the ruling Kachhawa clan of Amber, before the capital was shifted in the plains to present day Jaipur. The Amber Fort, set among rugged hills, is a fascinating blend of Hindu and Mughal architecture. Constructed by Raja Man Singh I in 1592 and completed by Sawai Jai Singh I, the fort is made out of red sand stone and white marble. The history of the Amber Fort goes back seven centuries; some of the earlier structures are in ruins. However, those built in the 16th century and afterwards are still in excellent shape.
