Message from Chris Betzmann

Housing the world’s largest cannon on wheels, the Jaigarh Fort was built in 1726, by Sawai Jai Singh II of Jaipur. The construction of the fort was done in order to protect the Amber fort from the invading army and is located 400 meters above the Amber palace. The fortress also served as a cannon foundry for the Rajputs and Mughals and also houses a beautiful garden and a museum.
