We visit Amber or Amer Fort. Ascend the Fort, atop a small hill with a ride on Elephant. Amer Fort is known for its artistic Hindu style elements. With its large ramparts and series of gates and cobbled paths, the fort overlooks Maota Lake, which is the main source of water for the Amer Palace. The complex consists of the Diwan-i-Aam, or "Hall of Public Audience", the Diwan-i-Khas, or "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 a water cascade within the palace. Hence, the Amer Fort is also popularly known as the Amer Palace. The palace was the residence of the Rajput Maharajas and their families. At the entrance to the palace near the fort's Ganesh Gate, there is a temple dedicated to Shila Devi. Jaipur is a major hub for arts and crafts. It has many traditional shops selling antiques, jewellery, handicrafts, gems, bangles, pottery, carpets, textiles, leather and metal products. Jaipur is one of India's largest manufacturers of hand-knotted rugs. After the tour, we take a jeep ride to our vehicle. From here we visit a Textile emporium and have a demonstration of Block printing.
Post lunch, drive past the beautiful the Palace of Wind (Photo stop) and arrive to visit the City Palace, whose several courtyards and gardens provide a wonderful contrast to its many palatial structures including Mubarak Mahal, Chandra Mahal, Badal Mahal and the Sri Govind Dev temple. The huge silver water vessels displayed at the Diwan-I-Khas recorded in the Guinness Book as the largest in the world are a must-see. Almost at its conception, Jaipur became a city for skilled craftsmen who were drawn from around the region by Maharaja Jai Singh II. These craftsmen included jewellers and stonecutters under the patronage of the maharajas. The jewellery they created embraced enamelling and gemstones for magnificent colourful creations that were as carefully finished on the back as the front. We visit a Jewellery boutique emporium and view how the skilled jewellers using precious & semi-precious stone, work on creating an exquisite masterpiece. Dinner overnight at the Jaipur Hotel.
