Description
 One of my most vivid memories of my holiday in Rajasthan a year ago was the visit to Amber Fort, an imposing palace built and extended on the top of a mountain by Raja Man Singh, Commander in Chief of Mughal Emperor Akbar's army , in the 16th century. The photo features the Sattais Katcheri, an hypostyle hall of beautiful columns and polyfoil arches. In this place, scribes would sit to receive and record taxes and revenue brought to the Raja,while enjoying breathtaking views over the mountains and valley of Amber.

Amazingly beautiful photoshot my friend.
Really an impressive presentation!!
Cette salle du palais est une splendeur, les matériaux semblent tranlucides sous cette lumière! Magnifique capture!
Jean-Luc, First of all let me say this is without a doubt the nicest tax office I have ever seen. I can hardly believe such an extravagant hall just for the scribes to receive and record taxes. Of course now you have stirred my curiosity as to what the rest of Amber fort looks like
Je suis d'accord avec Jean_C sur les matériaux. Ta photo est tellement lumineuse qu'elle en semble irréelle. Moi, je voudrais bien devenir percepteur des impôts dans ces conditions :-)
A lovely place and super light.
Wonderful capture and very great photo

stunning image
Very impressive photo!!!
SUPERLATIVE WORK
So beautiful! I love the warm light, and your angle of approach is perfect.
amazing
Such a gorgeous place… the amber glow is phenomenal and so calming! This structure has a delicate softness about it that is really inspiring and refreshing. Oddly enough, the purpose of this place humors me. I think I would need to sit in a place like this too, when it comes to taxes :) Incredible capture!
What a marvelous place and capture my friend, splendid colors, the lighting is precious, incredible image, thank you for sharing, loved it very much!
Amazing architecture & a fantastic shot of it - color & light are very appealing...
wow this is wonderful
Superb capture my friend. God Bless.
superbe POV et superbe lumière !!
Stunningly beautiful, dear Jean Luc. Sterling work. Hugs & Bisous. Di. xx
Impressive and beautiful capture! Great view!!
Quelle splendeur ! (et, sur le plan technique, quelle superbe prise-de-vue, chapeau). Il y a dans l'art oriental (au sens large) quelque chose qui me touche, un mélange de dépouillement et de sophistication. Ces colonnes et ces voûtes sont ouvragées et, cependant, l'ensemble paraît d'une grande simplicité. Ça me fait un peu penser à la mosquée de Cordoue, si belle, si simple, si tournée vers la nature, alors que la cathédrale qui croule sous les ors, me fait fuir en courant !
Outstanding work! Very well done!
Magnifique endroit et belle lumière, superbe photo !
This is the most elaborate and impressive tax building that I could imagine.
The soft glow gives it a magical atmosphere. Beautiful shot.
This shot plays with the shadow and the light to sublimate the reality ! Very well done, from PoV to technique !
wonderful photo, great atmo, lighting and colors!
a magic light here and excellent idea to present this capture
Excellent.
