Amer Fort History
If you talk about the history of the fort of Amer, then let us tell you that it was a small town before the rule of the first turtles, which was built by a small tribe named Meenas. This fort gets its name from Amber, i.e., Ambikeshwar, the name of Lord Shiva. However, locals say that the name is derived from the goddess Durga's name Amba. Formerly known as Dhundar, the city was ruled by turtles from the 11th century to the 16th century. In 1592 AD, Raja Man Singh built the fort and for the next 150 years, his successors worked to expand and renovate the fort. Earlier this place was named Kadimi Mahal which is the oldest palace in India. The palace also has a small temple dedicated to her patron goddess 'Sheela Mata' which was built by Raja Man Singh. Even after the destruction of many old structures and the construction of many structures, this fort still stands gracefully in the face of many obstacles.
