About Jaipur
Jaipur is also one of the most attractive cities of India. It is the capital of northern Indian state of Rajasthan. It is popularly known as the Pink City because of the color of the stone used for the buildings. Jaipur was founded in 1727 AD by Sawai Jaisingh II. The legacies that they left in the form of magnificent palaces and forts gives the Jaipur landscape an enchanting look even to this day. The bustling bazaars of Jaipur, famous for Rajasthani jewellery, fabric and shoes, possess a timeless quality and are surely a treasure-trove for the shoppers. Leading the pack of attractions of the 'Pink City' is the Jaigarh Fort- an example of the great expertise that Rajputs had over building military structures.

About Jaigarh Fort 
Jaigarh Fort is the best example of a full-fledged citadel. It was built by Sawai Jai Singh in the year 1726 to bolster the defence of the area. The fort is surrounded by huge battlements. The inside walkways have been built in such a way that a clear view of all the sides are easily available. A simple looking fort, no palaces or other delicate structures have been built inside the fort. The architecture makes clear Sawai Jai Singh's intentions of using the fort purely as a military structure.

Fort Attractions 
 
Jaivana
The Jaivana cannon is also the main attraction of the Jaigarh Fort, Jaipur. It is the largest wheeled cannon ever constructed. The cannon was built in the year 1720, during the reign of Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh II of Jaipur. Although a debatable issue, some historians are of the firm opinion that the cannon was fired only once. It is said that the huge cannon had the potential of causing immense damage if fired upon approaching enemies.

Water Channels
The water channels are also another striking feature of Jaigarh fort. They are built inside the fort. There are a total of 3 underground tanks at the fort. The largest of them had the capacity to store 60,00,000 gallons of water. Thus, it was clear that proper arrangements were in place to store essentials during times of war.

The commendable collection includes swords, shields, guns, muskets and cannon balls. Some old photographs of Jaipur's rulers and military generals have also been kept in the museum.
