Amber palace 2

More from the Amber palace. These are photos of the winterpalace. The mirrors were meant to reflect heat so that the royal family stayed warm in winter. I couldn't get photos of the palace temple. Anyway we went there while the priests were doing service.I noticed a few stains on the marble but didn't think to much of it. It was only when we came out that our tour guide told us that it used to be a temple to Kali and back when the moghul emporers ruled, they made human sacrifices to her. Really wish I'd gotten a photo. Oh, no sarifices there now though. People only leave flowers.
