When I was there we were not allowed to go into the hall/s. So, our views were from the doorways inward. Quite spectacular. When one thinks of the detail work provided by the artisans, one is impressed to amazement.

Blew me away. For any patchworkers, there's inspiration abound here. I wish I could have taken it home with me.

This was a fabulous room in the Amber Palace. It's literally a whole room made with mirrors from top to bottom. Not sure why this is listed by itself and not part of the Palace.

First of all, Shesh Mahal is beautiful. The room is quite impressive and I'm dying to see the parts that are closed to the public. But I'm totally confused as why this would be listed as it's own attraction. As far as I know, you see it as part of the Amber Palace complex. Strange...

This place was a fairy-tale place and one can only imagine it at night, lit by candles reflected on the mirrors. Well-maintained, clean.

The sheer craftsmanship of the palace leaves you wonderstruck. Part of the Amer fort complex. Unfortunately you cant go in to fully appreciate the craftsmanship, the perimeter is cordoned off.

This is a beautiful room that clearly demonstrates the skills of the master craftsmen of the time. It's a lovely room.

If enough reviews don't say it already--it's inside amber fort which is worth seeing regardless. This area is really beautiful and shiny (of course) and who doesn't like shiny things? I overheard a guide saying that a lot of it has been replaced overtime and he asked his group if they could tell what had been and what hadn't been,... More

I wish there was a way for Trip Advisor to link the Hall of Mirrors with the Amber Fort as one is located within the other. It was a must-see space and was absolutely beautiful with such great detail!
