A pillared legacy. Amber Fort, Amer, Jaipur, Rajasthan, India

Walk through the streets of Jaipur district in the state of Rajasthan, and you'll be greeted by grand palaces and towering forts that shape the region's landscape. One of the most prominent among them is Amber Fort, which is perched on a small hill about 11 kilometres from the main city of Jaipur. Within the regal walls of this fort lies the Sattais Katcheri, which means the 'court of 27 pillars,' featured in today's image. Amber Fort was built in 1592, and it served as the residence of the Maharajas, or rulers, of the area. Famous for its unique blend of Hindu, Rajput and Mughal architectural styles, it is constructed from pale yellow and pink sandstone alongside white marble.

This masterpiece is spread across four levels, each with its own courtyard. The fort's charm comes to life in its light and sound show every evening, which presents its historical legacy through vibrant visuals. Recognised as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Amber Fort invites visitors to explore a rich blend of history and royalty.
