Amer, or Amber Palace, in Jaipur was built in 1744 after the Persian invasion.
The approach to Amer Fort
An elephant races with our car to Amer Fort
Seat belts, anyone? Buses
are not allowed to drive all the way up to Fort Amer, so
open-sided vehicles and Jeeps drop visitors at the entrance
Much of the mosaics and frescoes deteriorated in the 1970s and 1980s, but the palace's architecture and colorful decorations are now being restored
The assembly hall with two huge sterling-silver barrels on each side of the entrance
Left: A female elephant is being taken away after she has obliged one of the ship's student to paint her. Below: Four elephants in an elephant sanctuary let the us wash them with hoses and paint their face and bodies
