Travel India-Amber Fort, Jaipur 斋普尔的安伯尔城堡
Amber Fort, generally known as Amer Fort, is a major tourist attraction in Jaipur. A showpiece of the Kachhwaha clan of Amber, it is built in red sand stone and marble and has both Rajput and Mughal style of architecture.
The Fort is approached by a steep ramp and visitors to it enjoy an elephant ride to it or can hike or drive also. The ramp leads to the imposing gates Singh Pol (Singh meaning Lion and Pol meaning Gate). The gateway leads to Jaleb Chawk a huge courtyard where they disembarked or returned from war. The area was also for display of war booties to the citizen and women folk who viewed the procession from jharokas (small grilled windows) of the palaces, the area where citizens hailed the returning war heroes. From the courtyard one is faced with two flights of stairs one leading to the Shilla Mata Temple complex that enshrines the image of Goddess of Power, Kali. The other flight of stairs leads to Ganesh Pol (Ganesh meaning God with Elephant Head of good omen). This is an imposing gate with the image of Ganesh taking a place of pride on the top. The gateway leads to another courtyard the Diwan-i-aam the halls of public audience. The structures here typically blend the Mughal and Rajput architectural styles. Apartments Sukh Niwas and Jai Niwas around Charbagh beautifully laid gardens incredible occurrence for a visitor.

Au début de la vidéo, sur la gauche, on voit la porte (qui arrive de la Jaleb Chowk) et qui donne accès à la cour et au Diwan-i-Am. A partir de la seconde 15 de la vidéo, on voit ce dernier, en deux parties, en L. A la seconde 40, on voit la Ganesh Pol, une œuvre fantastique, resplendissante ! Au-dessus, le Suhag Mandir où les fenêtres en treillis permettaient aux dames de la cour de voir sans être vues, fenêtres que l'on voit par l'autre côté au pano A partir de la seconde 56, on voit la façade austère du temple de Shila Devi (la déesse Shila ou Sila ou encore Kali). A partir de 1 minute 13 secondes, une seconde séquence vidéo consacrée à la Ganesh Pol, qui est l'entrée privée vers les palais des maharajas. C'est une structure à trois niveaux avec de nombreuses fresques, construite par Mirza Raja Jai Singh (règne de 1621 à 1627). Le Fort d'Amber est situé à 10 km au nord de Jaipur. Il fait partie d'un complexe défensif comprenant la vieille ville d'Amber (ou Amer). En contrebas du fort se trouve le lac Maotha avec son jardin flottant. La dynastie des Kachwahas occupe le site dés le 12° siècle, en y établissant sa capitale, jusqu'à la fondation de Jaipur en 1727. Le Raja Man Singh I, l'un des premiers Rajput à servir l'empereur moghol Akbar, dote Amber de fortifications et embellit le fort par l'édification de magnifiques palais. Il est suivi par Jai Singh I, qui construit à son tour des palais dans le style moghol. Le fort est bâti sur quatre niveaux, chacun avec sa cour. L'accès au fort peut se faire, pour les visiteurs, à dos d'éléphants, à partir du lac Maotha. On y entre alors par la Porte du Soleil (Suraj Pol). Jaipur, la capitale du Rajasthan, est une ville de création récente, puisqu'elle a été fondée en 1727 (les principaux travaux concernant palais, avenues et square central, dureront quatre ans). La ville est l'œuvre du Maharaja Jai Singh II, un Rajput de la famille des Kachhwaha. Située au pied des monts Aravalli, elle suit un plan en damier et est entourée d'une muraille de 6 mètres de haut et de 4 mètres de large. L'entrée de la ville se fait par huit portes. De façon étonnante, face au chaos indien habituel, cette ville a su s'imposer des normes de construction (largeur des avenues et des rues, tailles des boutiques...). La ville possède plusieurs monuments d'un grand intérêt historique et touristique (le Hawa Mahal, le Jantar Mantar, le City Palace, le Galta Ji à l'est de la ville, l'Amber Fort au nord...).

History[edit]
Main article: History of Jaipur
Jai Singh II, the founder of Jaipur
The city of Jaipur was founded in 1726 by Jai Singh II, the Raja of Amer who ruled from 1688 to 1758. He planned to shift his capital from Amer, 11 km (7 miles) from Jaipur to accommodate the growing population and increasing scarcity of water.[5] Jai Singh consulted several books on architecture and architects while planning the layout of Jaipur. Under the architectural guidance of Vidyadhar Bhattacharya, Jaipur was planned based on the principles of Vastu shastra and Shilpa Shastra.[8] The construction of the city began in 1726 and took four years to complete the major roads, offices and palaces. The city was divided into nine blocks, two of which contained the state buildings and palaces, with the remaining seven allotted to the public. Huge ramparts were built, pierced by seven fortified gates.[5]
During the rule of Sawai Ram Singh, the city was painted pink to welcome the Prince of Wales, later Edward VII, in 1876.[9] Many of the avenues remained painted in pink, giving Jaipur a distinctive appearance and the epithet Pink city.[10] In the 19th century, the city grew rapidly and by 1900 it had a population of 160,000. The wide boulevards were paved and its chief industries were the working of metals and marble, fostered by a school of art founded in 1868. The city had three colleges, including a Sanskrit college (1865) and a girls' school (1867) opened during the reign of the Maharaja Ram Singh II.[11][12]
Architecture[edit]

Amer Fort as seen from Nahargarh fort
The city was planned according to Indian Vastu shastra by Vidyadhar Bhattacharya in 1727.[13] There are three gates facing east, west, and north. The eastern gate is called Suraj pol (sun gate), the western gate is called Chand pol (moon gate) and the northern gate faces the ancestral capital of Amer.[8][14]
The city is unusual among pre-modern Indian cities in the regularity of its streets, and the division of the city into six sectors by broad streets 34 m (111 ft) wide. The urban quarters are further divided by networks of gridded streets. Five quarters wrap around the east, south, and west sides of a central palace quarter, with a sixth quarter immediately to the east. The Palace quarter encloses the Hawa Mahal palace complex, formal gardens, and a small lake. Nahargarh Fort, which was the residence of the King Sawai Jai Singh II, crowns the hill in the northwest corner of the old city.[15]
Demographics[edit]
As of 2011, Jaipur had a population of 3,073,350.[16] According to census of 2011. Hindus comprise 77.9% of the city's population, Muslim 18.6%, Jains 2.4% and others 1.0%.[17] While 47.49% people lived in rural areas, 52.51% lived in urban areas. The overall literacy rate for the district was 76.44%. 87.27% males and 64.63% females were literate. The sex ratio was 898 females per 1,000

Jaipur - Fuerte Amber - India -
El Fuerte Amber es un complejo palaciego localizado en Amber, a 11km de Jaipur, en el estado de Rajastan (India), Construido sobre los restos de una estructura anterior, fue comenzado en 1592. Amber sufrió modificaciones bajo sucesivos dirigentes en los siguientes 150 años. Conectado a través de pasajes fortificados, Jaigarh Fort está localizado en una colina, y fue construido a base de piedra arenisca roja y mármol blanco. Hoy día, los turistas pueden subir al fuerte desde la base de la colina en elefante. Durante el paseo, se pueden admirar las hermosas vistas de Jaipur, el lago Maotha y la muralla original de la ciudad. Una vez alcanzado el palacio, la visita más magnífica de todas es el vestíbulo de los espejos. Cuando la realeza vivía en este lugar, por la noche, si necesitaban pasar a través de esta estancia, tomaban una sola vela, y gracias al intrincado diseño de pequeños espejos, toda la habitación se iluminaba. Las excavaciones arqueológicas han demostrado que el palacio-fortaleza está construido sobre las ruinas de un templo al sol del año 955. Todo el complejo abarca hasta la cima de la colina donde puede verse el verdadero fuerte vigía, rodeado de muralla militar y extensos sistemas defensivos. Se entra al recinto por una puerta llamada Suraj Pol. A continuación se pasa a un gran patio que recibe el nombre de Jaleb Chowk. A un lado se encuentra el templo que se dedicó a Shila, manifestación de la diosa Kali. En un segundo patio puede verse el edificio dedicado a la Sala de Audiencias públicas, el Divan-i-Am, mandado construir por Jai Singh en 1639. Es una sala abierta por tres partes, con doble hilera de columnas de arenisca rosa y amplias cornisas. Hacia el lado sur se encuentra la gran puerta Ganesh Pol, llamada así por la imagen del dios-elefante que está en el centro del arco; esta puerta da entrada a las habitaciones privadas del marajá. Está decorada ricamente con frescos y mosaicos. Tiene ventanas de celosía donde las mujeres podían asomarse sin ser vistas. En el lado este está el Divan-i-khas o Sala del Consejo Real, que lleva el nombre de Jai Mandir. Es una sala muy lujosa decorada con mármol blanco y con mosaicos, tanto el techo como las paredes. Hay otra sala totalmente recubierta de espejos y vidrieras de colores llamada Shish Mahal, propiedad de la maharaní. Al lado oeste del patio del jardín se halla el Sukh Mahal o Palacio del Placer, todo un lujo con puertas de marfil y madera de sándalo. La música es de Jacques Offenbach. Visita en Febrero de 2014.

भगवान हनुमान , एक हिंदू देवता, शारीरिक शक्ति, दृढ़ता और भक्ति का प्रतीक का है । मुझे लगता है कि कोई और अधिक स्पष्टीकरण भगवान हनुमान के लिए आवश्यक नहीं है। खोले के हनुमान जी लक्ष्मण डूंगरी, दिल्ली बाईपास, जयपुर में स्थित सर्वशक्तिमान भगवान हनुमान के एक मंदिर है। मंदिर प्रसिद्ध और राजस्थान के प्राचीन मंदिर में से एक के रूप में हकदार है। पिछले कुछ वर्षों से इस मंदिर को बहुत ही विकसित किया गया है और भारत के कई हिस्सों में मान्यता प्राप्त है। मंदिर केवल पर्यटन स्थल के रूप में ही नहीं है, बल्कि पूरे भारत से भी कई व्यक्तियों भारतीय परंपरा के इस अभिन्न अंग यात्रा करने के लिए आते हैं। अमीर से गरीब व्यक्तियों को मंदिर की सुंदरता की वजह से नहीं, विस्मय और मंदिर के विश्वास से समृद्ध कर रहे हैं, लेकिन आस्था और विश्वास एक बार सर्वशक्तिमान के प्रति उनके दिल में ले।KHOLE KE HANUMAN JI IN JAIPUR (RAJASTHAN)
At a distance of 11 km from Jaipur Junction Railway Station, Khole Ke Hanuman Ji is an ancient temple situated at Laxman Dungri in Jaipur. This temple is considered to be one of the famous temples in Jaipur.

Udaipur (Rajasthan) Jadish Temple .
Jagdish Temple is a large Hindu temple in the middle of Udaipur in Rajasthan. A big tourist attraction, the temple was originally called the temple of Jagannath Rai but is now called Jagdish-ji. It is a major monument in Udaipur. The Jagdish Temple is raised on a tall terrace and was completed in 1651. It attaches a double-storey Mandapa (hall) to a double-storey saandhara (with a covered ambulatory) sanctum. The mandapa has another storey tucked within its pyramidal samavarna (bellroof) while the hollow clustered spire over the sanctum contains two more, nonfunctional stories.
Lanes taking off from many of the sheharpanah (city wall) converge on the Jagdish Temple. It was built by Maharana Jagat Singh in 1651,who ruled Udaipur during 1628-53.
he temple is dedicated to Lord Vishnu (Laxmi Narayan), the preserver of the Universe. It is celebrated for being the largest temple in the city of Udaipur. The gateway of this temple can be sited at a distance of 150 meters from the Bara Pol of the City Palace.
This three-storied temple is a wonder of architecture that comprises beautifully carved pillars, decorated ceilings, painted walls and lush halls. In those times, 1.5 million rupees were spent to raise this structure. The spire of the main temple is around 79 feet high that undoubtedly dominates the skyline of Udaipur. This shikhar (spire) is festooned with sculptures of dancers, elephants, horsemen and musicians making it truly a sight to behold.
As and when you approach the temple, you will be welcomed by two huge stone elephants at the entrance. On the very front of the temple, you would find a stone slab that is imprinted with the inscriptions with reference to Maharaja Jagat Singh. To reach the main shrine, you have to take a marble flight of 32 steps. Here, you will find a brass image of Garuda, a figure of half-man and half-eagle. This huge idol stands as if; it is guarding the doorway of Lord Vishnu.
The main shrine houses the striking four-armed image of Lord Vishnu. This idol is carved out of a single piece of black stone. A single glimpse of the idol takes the person to the celestial world to find everything calm and serene. The main shrine of Lord Jagdish/ Vishnu is centrally located encircled by four smaller shrines. These shrines are dedicated to Lord Ganesha, Sun God, Goddess Shakti and Lord Shiva respectively.
The splendid architecture of the temple boasts of a pyramidal spire, mandap (prayer hall) and a porch. The first and the second storey of the temple possess 50 pillars each. The intricate carvings on the pillars need an enduring sight to praise the noteworthy beauty of this temple. This temple was built keeping in the mind the Hindu architectural science of 'Vastushstra'. Every year, people from far and near come to visit this holy place of worship. The serenity as well as the architectural magnificence of the temple cannot be bounded in words, so one must visit this temple to get the blessings of Lord Jagdish.

Indian STREET FOOD Snack Tour + Vada Pav BURGER & Attractions | Pune, India
In November of 2018, I visited India for the second time that year to explore more of this beautiful country’s delicious food and fascinating culture. After my friend Sam and I arrived in Pune in the wee hours of the morning, we hit the ground running and met up with our new friend Dharmesh.

Here are the highlights of our incredible first afternoon in Pune!
-Sugarcane Juice with Lemon
We started our tour with a refreshing glass of sugarcane juice with lemon, which was perfect after the spicy breakfast I had! It cooled down my mouth and was very hydrating. Perfect for a sweltering day in Pune!
-Shaniwar Wada Fortress
Our first stop of the afternoon was Shaniwar Wada Fortress, a historical fortification that was completed in 1732 and served as the seat of the Peshwas of the Maratha Empire until 1818 before a large portion of the fort was destroyed in a fire in 1828. There, we climbed the steep, narrow staircases to walk along the walls overlooking the city.
-Palm Reading
After leaving Shaniwar Wada, we came across a palm reader who doesn’t charge money for a reading; you just give him what you want. He told me that 2019 will be an amazing year for me and that I’m going to make a lot of money and be very successful in what I’m doing! Here’s hoping his reading was accurate!
-Masala Chai
Next, we tried a glass of Masala Chai, a creamy black tea that contains aromatic Indian herbs and spices along with milk, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, and more. This tea is next level!
-Shreemant Dagdusheth Halwai Ganapati Temple
Our next stop was the Shreemant Dagdusheth Halwai Ganapati Temple, a stunning, 125-year-old temple that is dedicated to the Hindu elephant god Ganesh. The temple is gorgeous inside and out and is a must-visit for anyone who travels to Pune.
-Vada Pav
Finally, it was time to eat again! We went to a local place for Vada Pav, also known as the Indian burger, which is a bun that is usually soaked in masala and contains a fried potato fritter. The one I had was also served with mint chutney instead of masala and came with lots of raw onions. I loved the mint chutney and the potato fritter, and the bun was incredibly fluffy!
-Mango Mastani
We finished off our lunchtime tour of with a Mango Mastani, a rich, thick, and creamy milkshake from Pune that is made with ice cream, milk, mangoes, pistachios, cashews, and almonds. It reminded me of another of my favorite Indian dessert drinks, Lassi, and was exactly what I needed to cool down from the intense heat and wake up after over 30 straight hours with no sleep!
I hope you had a great time exploring more of Pune with me! If you did please give this video a thumbs up, leave a comment and subscribe to my channel for more awesome travel and food content!

Amer Fort Jaipur , India Seven Wonders of India: Amer Fort आमेर किले का रहस्य | Aamer Fort Secret
Amer Palace (Hindi: आमेर क़िला, also spelled and pronounced as Amber) is located in Amer (a town with an area of 4 square kilometres (1.5 sq mi), 11 kilometres (6.8 mi) from Jaipur, Rajasthan state, India. It is the principal tourist attractions in the Jaipur area, located high on a hill. Amer Fort was built by Raja Man Singh I. Amer Fort is known for its artistic style of Hindu elements. With its large ramparts, series of gates and cobbled paths, the fort overlooks the Maota Lake, at its forefront.
The aesthetic ambiance of the palace is seen within its walls on a four level layout plan (each with a courtyard) in a well turned out opulent palace complex built with red sandstone and marble consisting of the Diwan-e-Aam or the Hall of Public Audience, the Diwan-e-Khas or the Hall of Private Audience, the Sheesh Mahal (mirror palace) or Jai Mandir, and the Sukh Niwas where a cool climate is artificially created by winds that blow over the water cascade within the palace. Hence, the Amer Fort is also popularly known as the Amer Palace. The palace was lived in by the Rajput Maharajas and their families. At the entrance to the palace near the fort's Ganesh Gate, there is also a temple dedicated to Sila Devi, a goddess of the Chaitanya cult which was given to Raja Man Singh when he had defeated the Raja of Jessore, Bengal in 1604. (Jessore is now in Bangladesh).
This palace along with Jaigarh Fort, located immediately above on the Cheel ka Teela (Hill of Eagles) of the same Aravalli range of hills, is considered as one complex, as the two are well connected by a subterranean passage. This passage was meant as an escape route in times of war for the royal family members and others in the Amer Fort to shift to the more redoubtable Jaigarh Fort.[
Annual tourist visitation to the Amer Palace in Amer town was reported by the Superintendent of Department of Archaeology and Museums to the Amer Palace as 5000 visitors a day, and 1.4 million visitors were reported during 2007
The Amber Fort is a very impressive structure from the exterior, set high on a hill with a big wall around it that looks like a smaller version of the Great Wall of China.
To reach the fort you walk up a steep incline that zigzags the hillside. A number of tourists hire elephants to take them up but they look mistreated and I totally disagree with this practice.
As usual the hawkers are everywhere trying to sell cameras, batteries, postcards and crappy puppets.
Once inside, the fort is very impressive with large open courtyards and even an area with convex glass on the ceiling to reflect heat in winter.
But, to be honest it is much the same as the other forts we have been too, this is not a bad thing as to me they are some of the highlights of the trip.
Between Delhi and Jaipur, Amer is said to be the gateway to Rajasthan. Work at the Amer Fort is said to have begun in the 10th century, but was only completed in 1599.
आमेर के किले को अम्बर के किले के रूप में भी जाना जाता है। जयपुर से 11 किलोमीटर की दूरी पर बने इस किले का निर्माण आमेर शहर की मीनाओं ने कराया था। बाद में राजा मान सिंह प्रथम ने वहां पर शासन किया। यह किला यूनेस्को की विश्व विरासतों की सूची में है।
Amer Fort Jaipur Video - Amer Fort is UNESCO World Heritage Site. Amer fort (officially spell as Amber fort) is situated about 10 km from Jaipur on Jaipur-New Delhi road. Amer fort of Jaipur is listed in World Heritage Sites of UNESCO in June 2013.
Amer was the capital of old Dhundar state of Jaipur and was governed by Kachawaha rulers. The town was originally named Ambikeshwara and was later abridged to Amber or Amer.
Amer fort complex mainly comprises Jaleb Chowk, Singh Pol, Diwan-e-Aam, Diwan-e-Khaas, Ganesh Pol, Yash Mandir, Sukh Mandir, Suhag Mandir, Shila Devi temple, Baradari, Bhool Bhulaiya, and Zanana Dyodi (women's apartments). During Jaipur Tour, one can experience the practical approach of Indian Vastu, architectural excellence and beautiful stone carving work accomplished manually at Amber fort around four centuries back.
Maavtha lake at Amer fort is an abbreviated form of the word Mahawata from the huge wat or banyan trees which grew on the edges of the lake once a time.
Ganesh Pol or the Ganesh Gate at Amer fort provides access to the inner and private parts of the palace. Covered with frescoes, it was constructed on the orders of Mirza Raja Jai Singh (1621-67 A.D.).
.
Amber fort tunnel is always a big attraction for tourists. Tunnels are to be found quite commonly in the palaces and forts of the medieval period.
Chandpole bazaar in Jaipur, Rajasthan
The Chandpole Bazar has something for everyone. The goods in the market, in a way, provide a glimpse into the colourful culture of the Pink City.
Jaipur, Rajasthan’s capital, is an enthralling historical city and the gateway to India’s most flamboyant state.
The city’s colourful, chaotic streets ebb and flow with a heady brew of old and new. Careering buses dodge dawdling camels, leisurely cycle-rickshaws frustrate swarms of motorbikes, and everywhere buzzing autorickshaws watch for easy prey. In the midst of this mayhem, the splendours of Jaipur’s majestic past are islands of relative calm evoking a different pace and another world.
At the city’s heart, the City Palace continues to house the former royal family; the Jantar Mantar, the royal observatory, maintains a heavenly aspect; and the honeycomb Hawa Mahal gazes on the bazaar below. And just out of sight, in the arid hill country surrounding the city, is the fairy-tale grandeur of Amber Fort, Jaipur’s star attraction.
