Ganesh Gate at the Amber Palace, Jaipur , India

Ganesh Pol, also known as the Ganesh Gate, is named after the Hindu deity Ganesha, who is believed to remove all obstacles in life. It marks the entrance to the private palaces of the Maharajas. This three-level structure is adorned with numerous frescoes and was built on the orders of Mirza Raja Jai Singh (reigned 1621–1627). Above the gate is the Suhag Mandir, where the royal ladies used to watch events held in the Diwan-i-Aam through latticed marble windows called jalis.
