This is constructed in 1623 during the reign of Raja Jai Singh. King used this place to meet his special guests.
The walls and ceilings of the hall are beautifully covered with mirrors, in such a way that even if a small ray of light enters the Mahal this light would reflect in the mirrors and the entire hall would have a natural light up. The glass used here ids imported from Begium.
There are various design patterns with mirrors on the walls and ceiling. Above is one of the intricate designs in the ceiling.

Centuries old and the details are still visible - awesome. Vividly appearing intricate craftsmanship - fascinating.
Beautiful! It strongly reminds me of the Alhambra castle in Spain.;))
Hope you had a great weekend,

Another great tour Rajesh. Boom & Gary of the Vermilon River, Canada.
That's a beautiful fort. I love the scalloped arches.
Beautiful Rajesh -- I'd love to see this. Just the name alone "Palace of Glass" is enough to let me know it would be amazing. Again, it is such a joyful thing to know about these wonderfully preserved historical and sacred places.
The patterns are just gorgeous.
What a wonderful way of lighting, Rajesh. Beautiful!

Majestic and graceful! At dusk, reflections in the mirrors must be so beautiful. I hope to visit and see reflections someday. Have a great week!

Your thumbnail made me think it was a quilt. In India? Now I realize it is a gorgeous ceiling. But it could inspire a new quilt pattern!
All the forts in Rajasthan are very beautiful specially Sheesh Mahal in Amber Fort is amazing. Though I was at Jaipur for couple of years still I feel like visiting the place again and again.
Amazing place!

The beauty of the place must be amazing to see.
The mosaic ceiling made of beautiful colored glasses is breathtaking! Great photos.
How clever, (and beautiful) must be magical at dawn. As they were just mentioning where the monsoon was at the moment on on radio I also wonder how it reacts to rain.
Dazzling palace, this sheesh mahal.
Thanks to all for appreciating this beautiful palace.

Simply amazing. The architect thought of the best way to light up the palace. I really dig the curves and intricate style. Fabulous...Thanks for sharing this Rajesh!
