A Visit to India’s Amer Fort (आमेर क़िला)

In northwest India, seven miles outside the city of Jaipur, the stunning Amer Fort sits atop a forested hill overlooking Maota Lake. Visitors to the 400-year-old fort can ride elephants up a zigzagging path to reach the entrance. Inside, there are four main courtyards, one of which contains an elaborate room of mirrors known as the Sheesh Mahal.

“Democrats better not think that the community that came out so forcefully for the president and his re-election is simply going to say, ‘OK, do whatever it is you wish,’ ” Gutierrez told The Daily, after a news conference with a local pro-immigration group. “They better act on this issue, and they better act on it quickly, and in a forceful way.”
