ROUGH CUT (NO REPORTER NARRATION)
STORY: Bhutanese King Jigme Khesar Namgyel Wangchuck with his newlywed queen, Jetsun Pema, visited the historic Amer fort in India's Jaipur city as part of a nine-day visit to the country.
Known for an artistic amalgamation of Hindu and Mughal elements, Amer Fort is renowned for its extravagant ramparts, intricately designed gates and paved paths.
The visit comes soon after the 31-year-old Oxford-educated King married the 21-year-old Pema, daughter of an airline pilot, in an elaborate ceremony replete with Buddhist mysticism at a monastic fortress in the Punakha city of Bhutan.
The couple is expected to stay in India till October 31.
