Sheesh Mahal (Hall of Mirrors)

There isn't a corner of Jaipur's beautiful Amber Fort which doesn't have its own wonderful history and legend. It's such a large site that if you want to see everything, it's better to divide it into zones. In the East, you'll find this wonderfully decorated room with mirrors and windows, once the residence of the maharajah. The intricate mirrors have a purpose beyond decoration ... at night, the only lighting available sometimes was a single candle, and the mirrors meant that it was enough to light up the whole room. The stained glass windows are currently undergoing restoration.
