Jaigarh Fort

Jaigarh Fort, also known as the "Victory Fort", was built in 1726.

The fort is perched on a cliff overlooking the Amber Fort and Jaipur
and is surrounded by huge battlements.

Jaigarh, once responsible for the security of both Jaipur and the old capital of Amber,
is a huge fort and contains all the accoutrements of a full-fledged citadel.

This is the Jai Van, cast in 1726 and said to be the world's largest cannon on wheels.
