Evening Lights

Amer Fort sits on the hillside over looking the city of Amer, the former capitol of Rajasthan before Jaipur was established in 1727. Amer Fort was built in 1592 by Raja Man Singh and later finished by Raja Jai Singh I. Built with red sandstone and white marble, Man Singh used both Hindu (specifically Rajput) and Mughal architecture in the fort's design. This amazing fort has stood against the test of time, invasions, and many tourists.

Recently, lights were added to the 423 year old building, and officials have opened the historic attraction in the evening hours, giving guests a new, peaceful perspective on the structure. This place has many stories to tell, I'm sure, and I have only caught but a small glimpse of its evening tales.
