Jaivana- The Worlds Largest Cannon on the Wheels? Jaipur, Rajasthan
When I visited Jaipur last year, I remember reading about the Jaivana cannon. It is also thought to be one of the largest one on the wheels in the world. I tried searching for it today and could not find an authentic source that says this is the largest cannon on the wheels.
oh it's very huge! i think it could wipe out a village?
Oh! I am proud that India has the largest cannon in the world.As far as there are no authentic sources we can say we have the largest. :)Happy diwali to you and your family.
I wanna test it…so who wanna be my target.heheHave you ever heard about zamzamma?
That is why old people were strong in old days.
that indeed is a giant canon….nice shot!
Doli, it certainly looks like that.Abhilash it is largest cannon on the wheels.No Tarun, what is zamzamma?Hobo, quite possible that and less pollution.Thank you Flyingstars.
This canon seems to be wiped from memory, from my only visit to Jaipur and the vicinity, years back :-)Sure looks huge. Wondering how much effort must be required to load it or move it 😐
Sangfroid, the cannon is in the Jaigarh Fort. Yes I am sure it would take great effort to fire it!
The largest Cannon ever built according to Popular Mechanics magazine is a Sikh Cannon owned by Maharaja Ranjeet Singh during the Khalsa Raj and british still has it.
A thanks for sharing this.
