Architecture
The fort is built with white marble and red sandstone. It looks even more attractive because of the Maota Lake in the foreground. The fort in itself is a remarkable sight. As one looks on the fort with its clear reflection on the lake in the front, one cannot help but wonder if it is a dream or a beautiful illusion.
The exterior of the Fort is not in the least like its interior. The outside is very imposing and rugged looking whereas the inside is a comforting and warm interior. This interior is influenced by both Hindu and Muslim style of ornamentation. On the walls, paintings depict various hunting scenes. There id also a lot artistic work on the walls. These are covered with intricate carvings; mosaic and minute mirror-work that make the halls look very majestic and imperial.
