Jaipur’s Maharaja Madho Singh II went to England in 1902 for the coronation of King Edward VII. He carried Ganga Jal (water from the holy river Ganges) in large silver urns. As per the Guinness book of world records, these jars are the world’s largest silver objects. To build these vessels nearly 14,000 silver coins were melted. Each urn’s weight is 345 Kilo Grams (690 pounds). They stand 5 feet 3 inches in height with a circumference of 14 feet 10 inches.

Thanks nvldvr
I guess the place is so beautiful that the pics had to come out that way.

The pictures are awesome. @lsp, I also have a few pics of Jaipur and would like to contribute them on your thread, if you don't mind.

Thanks daredeviljpr.
And its nothing like my thread. Please feel free to post pics in this thread. You seem to be from Jaipur and i think your view of the city wont be as touristy as mine.

Isp,
That is good photography and composition which gives us a nice glimpse in this beautiful tourism rich city, thanks for sharing.
Regards,

Lovely photologue!
Jaipur the timeless beauty and architecture is mesmerising.
Question: When did you visit? Recently? I am told that despite high temperature outside the rooms inside always remain cool. Have not had the opportunity to check this out in high summer.

Lalit, the pics are simply awesome; what's the camera? I just can help thinking how people lived in the palace in those times. The vintage arms are simply beautiful to look. Thanks for sharing it with us.

What're the long steps in pic 6606? Are they some kind of watch tower?
