tried touching it...
view ~ up close...
of many movies, 'Lamhe' was the most prominent one to be shot here...
all guides to the palace never forget to mention this fact...
Rasoda ~ the royal kitchen, and other utility structures in the palace...
ceiling art...
the thick double-walled corridors around the palace is what keeps it cool...
a garden in between, surrounded by Diwan-e-aam, Diwan-e-khas, Sheesh Mahal etc...
I walk about the premises, soaking in the royalty in awe...
the Sheesh Mahal with intricate mirror work is my absolute favourite...
kuch mirror-selfies ho jaye? for sure ;-)
one of the many windows, looking down the courtyard below...
with Jaigarh fort beckoning me from behind the palace, I bid adiew to Amer...
there was some mela going on at the outer courtyard...bought some sweets...
Since, it was my 2nd visit to the palace, it was just a reminiscing and re-living experience for me ~ the palace being familiar from my visit before. Nonetheless, its always interesting to observe how the royalty lived in the past...
