  • Ely the Elephant…jai-ely1

…slowly plodded up the stone path…

…zig-zagging back and forth…

…before depositing us…

…at the foot of the Amber Fort…

…sitting high atop the hill…

…protected by the “mini wall of China” …

…as locals refer to it.

  • Sheesh Mahal – the Mirror Palace…

…exquisitely embellished…

…with mirror mosaics…

…of glass inlaid panels and ceilings…

…in a convex shape…

…designed with colored foil and paint…

…created a  “glittering jewel box…

…in flickering candle light”…

…or basically a disco ball by today’s standard.

FUN-fact – So far we have had one elephant, two horse carts, and three rickshaw rides.
