Description

To safeguard the Amber Fort below, Jaigarh Fort was built in 1726. Since the fort was never captured, it remains one of medieval India's best-preserved fortresses. The fortress grounds include the Jaivana, the world's largest cannon on wheels. Just once did the 20-foot (6-meter) and 50-ton cannon fire, and it took 220 pounds (100 kilograms) of gun powder to achieve so.
