The Third Courtyard – where the private quarters of the Maharaja, his family and attendants were located. A beautiful Ganesh Pol (Ganesh Gate) is the entrance to this courtyard. And the courtyard has two buildings, opposite to each other, separated by a beautiful garden laid in the fashion of the Mughal Gardens.

Sheesh Mahal: The Sheesh Mahal was built in the 16th century and completed in 1727 by king Man Singh. Jaipur state was also founded in 1727. It has mirror mosaics and coloured glasses all over. Even if a single candle is lit its reflection in thousands of mirrors looks like a thousand twinkling stars. It is also known as Jai Mandir.

Sukh Mahal or Sukh Niwas : The other building opposite Jai Mandir is The Sukh Niwas or Sukh Mahal (Hall of Pleasure). The Sukh Mahal is approached through a sandalwood door with marble inlay work with perforations. A piped water supply flows through an open channel that runs through this edifice keeping the Sukh Niwas cool, a natural air-conditioning. The water through the channel flows into the garden.

Palace of Man Singh I – Baradari Pavilion

The Palace of Man Singh I also have known as Baradari Pavilion, which is the oldest part of Amber Fort or Amber Palace. It took 25 years to build and was completed in 1599 during the reign of Raja Man Singh I (1589 – 1614). This is the main palace and in the middle of the courtyard is the pillared baradari or pavilion. This pavilion, (was used to be curtained for privacy) was used as the meeting venue by the Maharanis (queens of the royal family).

Tripolia Gate: The Tripolia Gate is access to the palace from the west. This gate opens in three directions, one towards Jaleb Chowk, another to the Man Singh Palace and the Third one towards the Zenana Deorhi on the south.
