Amber was the ancient capital of Kachhawaha dynasty for 6 centuries before it was moved to newly created Jaipur. Amber is situated about 11 km from Jaipur, the capital city of Rajasthan.. The existence of Amber Fort belongs to various rulers like Raja Man Singh, army commander of Mughal Emperor Akbar in 1592, and Raja Jai Singh I and II. Amber Fort is a classic fusion of Mughal and Hindu architecture, built in red sandstone and white marble.

The history of Amber Fort was concerned with various Rajput kingdoms, and had at various times faced the armies of the sultans of Gujarat, the Marathas, and the Mughals. While the exterior is forbidding, the interiors are lavished with decoration since the kings and especially the women, spent almost all their time within the fortified palaces.
