Moreover, tourists admire the sight of the elephants majestically ride up the ramparts.

One of the most exquisite parts of the fort is the Diwan-e-Khas or the hall meant for private audience. It’s also called Sheesh Mahal or the hall of mirrors as its walls are covered in intricate mirror work. It also faces a beautiful garden. Further, there is a moat surrounding the fort.
