  • Indian entry fee per person 100/- Foreign entry fee per person 500/- Sheesh Mahal is also known as the Mirror Palace. Gorgeous precious stones and glass, beautifully hand-crafted paintings make Sheesh Mahal a wonder.It is the most well-known and attractive feature of Amer Fort, constructed by Maharaja Man Singh in the 16th century. However, by 1727 AD, the construction had come to an end. In ancient times, the queen was not permitted to sleep outside. She desired to be able to see the stars while sleeping. As a result, the king asked his architects to design a mahal that would remedy the issue. The reflections of the candles in the glass ceiling mirror keep the space warm. You can no longer enter the hall of Sheesh mahal, but you can admire the fantastic artwork on the Sheesh mahal's glass from the outside. The hall's walls and ceiling consists of exquisite artwork and flowers made of pure glass and valuable stone. And the location of the ceiling glass is fantastic. Because of this, if someone lights two candles, the reflection changes that modest light into thousands of stars, which looks fantastic and gives you an idea of the degree of architecture in India at the time.
