The Jaigarh Fort is an opulent structure built in the early 18th century. Amer, the city in which the Jaigarh and the Amer fort are located, was ruled by the Kachawahas from the early 10th century.The Jaigarh Fort is a palatial structure perched on the 'Cheel ka teela' hills, much like a jewel on a crown. Designed by a talented architect called Vidhyadhar, the fort is a regal reminder of the city's affluent history and is named after Jai Singh II, the ruler who got it built.
