FAQs On Hall of Mirrors

Jaipur, Rajasthan, India
The Hall of Mirrors, or Sheesh Mahal, is arguably the most famous and breathtaking chamber within the magnificent Amer Fort, located on a hilltop near Jaipur. This exquisite hall was originally constructed in the late 16th century by Raja Man Singh and later completed by Mirza Raja Jai Singh I aroun d 1623 CE; some sources indicate later work by Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh II. Its construction was reportedly motivated by a queen's wish to sleep under the stars, as tradition prohibited her from sleeping in the open. The solution was this opulent hall whose walls and ceiling are entirely inlaid with thousands of tiny, convex mirrors and colored glass pieces, many of which were imported from Belgium and Persia. This intricate mosaic work creates a spectacular optical illusion: when just one or two candles are lit, their reflection is multiplied countless times in the mirrors, creating the effect of a million twinkling stars across the ceiling, hence fulfilling the queen's desire. The chamber served as the private audience hall (Diwan-e-Khas) for the royal family. Its unique design also served a practical purpose, as the mirror reflections helped keep the room warm during the winter. A remarkable feature is the "Magic Flower" fresco, an intricate carving on a pillar base that reveals seven different hidden designs when viewed from specific angles. The hall is a glorious testament to the fusion of Rajput and Mughal artistic brilliance.
