This is just a quick photo portfolio of a trip my then-girlfriend Lil and I made in 1993 to Jaipur.
The approach to Amber Palace, Jaipur. Amber sits outside of the city. We took a three-wheel scooter there. Copyright 1993. Photo by Narayan Sengupta.
The approach to Amber Palace, Jaipur. This is where the taxis and buses drop people off. You can, if I remember correctly, get the elephant rides from here. That's not to be missed. Notice another fort in the background to the top left. There are several in and around the city. Copyright 1993. Photo by Narayan Sengupta.

Ceiling detail in Amber Palace. These are all tiny mirrors. The tour guides will often close the room and then light two candles and wave them around slowly and it looks like the stars are out - inside. Copyright 1993. Photo by Narayan Sengupta.

Amber Palace in the distance. Jaipur must have about five or six big forts and many walls all around the city. Notice the wall just before the fort disappearing off to the left. Copyright 1993. Photo by Narayan Sengupta.
Jaipur also has several lakes - manmade - echoing those of Udaipur. Copyright 1993. Photo by Narayan Sengupta.
