With its highly ornate frescoed arches, the Ganesh Pol Gateway has made it to our number one spot. It is one of many richly decorated entranceways in the Amber Fort, a series of courtyards, palaces, halls and gardens in Amer, near Jaipur. At the centre of the great gate's arch is the Hindu god Ganesh, and the lavish portal leads into the private quarters of the Rajas.

Constructed in the 16th century, the beautiful hilltop palace was made out of sandstone and marble and combines the Rajput and Mughal architectural styles to stunning effect.
