Loved our visit to this amazing fort built by Rajah Man Singh 1 but took the reign of a further two kings to complete. A feature of this incredible place is the Sheesh Mahal or Mirror Palace which was built for one of the Rajah’s wives. The story is that she absolutely adored looking at the night sky but was not allowed to be seen in public. Therefore, the king ordered the construction of precious stones and mirrors, which can be illuminated with one or two candles to create an incredible spectacle of thousands of tiny stars. We saw a demonstration of this which was quite amazing.
