The beautiful Amber Fort, sometimes referred
to as the Amber Palace, is located about 11 kilometres from Jaipur overlooking
Maota Lake. Built of red sandstone and marble, mainly in Mughal style, it is the
most opulent of the ‘Hill Forts of Rajestan,’ a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
This
is the second in a series of locations I plan to paint to add to a compilation
of Christmas letters I wrote beginning in 1990. My 1996 letter included the
photo of some tourist on an elephant shown on the right, taken on one of the ramps (in about the centre of the painting) coming down from the main gate .
