Amber Fort is justifiably the most significant sight in Jaipur. In fact this is a fortress with numerous palaces inside it. Man Singh, one of the first war chiefs of the Emperor Akbar, began the construction of a fortress-palace of red and white sandstone in 1592. Nearby he ordered to set a small temple devoted to Kali, his patron goddess. Before Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh began to rule here and founded Jaipur, it was the center of the principality. This place was used as a seat of the rulers and as a fortification.
