This has its own impression on you to remember.

Also a part of the complex in Amber Fort is the Diwan i Am or hall of the public audience with its spectacular display of pillars. The typical merging of Rajput and Mughal architectural styles is captured in the Sukh Nivas and Jas Mandir apartments, and the Charbagh garden with its perfectly proportioned landscaping. A highlight is the pierced screen windows which offer views form points of vantage, as well as the shimmering mirrors encrusting the walls of the Sheesh Mahal. Several other gardens and pavilions within the sprawling spread of ramparts offer enough scope for investigating medieval lifestyles at leisure & the Culture of this land & Rajput Dynasty that ruled this land of heroes, with their never ending tales of courage that has made most of the history that this Princely State of Rajasthan has.
