The architecture of the fort is similar to the forts of
Mewar in Rajasthan. It is maintained regularly and kept in
good condition. The fort is located on the outer western
side of the village and has a panoramic view of the fields
in the west. On the eastern southern side the fort is
flanked by the village and has a clear view of the village
chowk and the activities therein on the eastern side.
The fort is an architectural delight to behold with bold
sweeping arches and long open terraces. It has large
spacious chowks in both the Mardana and the Zenana sections.
A portion of the Fort has now been converted in to 12 deluxe
family suites, with the added facilities of laundry,
library, and T.V. lounge, Doctor on call, Indian,
Continental and regional cuisine and theme dinners.
One can unwind & enjoy a soul stirring tranquil evening of
Malwa with gazhals in the ambience of Fort Amla - the Royal
experience. If inclined towards a livelier form of
entertainment, an evening of foot tapping music and dance
presented by a group of local tribals can be enjoyed. The
other folk art of the area to be savored is the Mayur Dance
and other performances by local folk Dancers.
