HistoryFormerly known as Ambapur, Amet is historically significant. Veer Patta{{explain|who?|date=April 2017}} was the king (under Mewar) of Amet who fought against Mughals with the Maharana of Mewar Udai Singh, the founder of Udaipur city famously known as "city of lakes". The great Maharana Pratap was son of Udai Singh. Myth:About 2000 years ago, King Jai Singh ruled Amet. Every morning he would go to Charbhuja temple and worship lord Shyam. One rainy day, a river which flows toward the temple began overflowing, preventing King Jai Singh from entering the temple. Later, he dreamt that he heard the voice of Lord Shyam. Lord Shyam promised him he could come to the temple to worship without any trouble. On another early morning, King Jai Singh got up and came out from his house. He saw the statue of Lord Shyam rising from the ground and stopping once it was half-way from the earth. King Jai Shingh, remembering the dream, dug out the statue of the lord and built the "Temple Of Shri Jai Singh Shyam". At this time, Rajendra Kumar Sharma, one of Jai Singh's best priests, created unique designs on the temple, making it appear like Heaven.
