印度拉贾斯坦邦斋浦尔附近的琥珀堡

大多数初次到访印度拉贾斯坦邦斋浦尔的游客都知道这座城市有“粉红之城”的美誉，但更早的王都以琥珀堡为中心。这个王朝的大部分政治与建筑史正是在那里书写的。琥珀堡的营建历时一个多世纪，始于1592年拉贾·曼·辛格一世统治时期，之后由历代卡奇瓦哈统治者续建；他们统治的王国后来成为斋浦尔土邦。王室于 1727 年迁往新规划的斋浦尔城，但琥珀堡仍继续承担礼仪功能。

从建筑上看，这座堡垒将拉杰普特式防御特色与受莫卧儿风格启发的拱门、庭院、彩绘表面和大理石装饰融为一体。图中的Sattais Katcheri大厅因其27根柱子而得名。这座建筑被认为曾用于行政事务。堡内还有觐见厅、王室庭院以及装饰华丽的镜宫。探索这片宏大的建筑群，感受“Padharo Sa”的热情好客，也别忘了留点肚子品尝一盘达尔巴蒂楚尔玛——烤小麦面团、扁豆和一种香甜松散的甜点。

Amber Fort near Jaipur, Rajasthan, India

Most first-time visitors know Jaipur, in Rajasthan, India, as the Pink City, but the earlier royal capital was centered on Amber Fort. That's where much of the dynasty's political and architectural history was shaped. The fort developed over more than a century, beginning under Raja Man Singh I in 1592 and continuing under later Kachwaha rulers who controlled the kingdom that eventually became Jaipur State. The royal family moved to the newly planned city of Jaipur in 1727, but Amber continued to serve ceremonial functions.

Architecturally, the fort combines defensive Rajput features with Mughal-inspired arches, courtyards, painted surfaces, and marble detailing. The Sattais Katcheri Hall, seen in the image, takes its name from its 27 pillars. The structure is associated with administrative purposes. The fort also includes audience halls, royal courtyards, and the ornate Sheesh Mahal. Explore the sprawling complex, experience the warmth of 'Padharo Sa,' and save room for a plate of dal baati churma—baked wheat dumplings, lentils, and a sweet crumbly dessert.
