In
the
Diwan-e-Khas
private
audience
hall,
the
largest
silver
urn
in
the
world
is
displayed.
The
silver
urns
were
made
under
the
supervision
of
Maharaja
Madhu
Singh
II,
who
wanted
to
visit
London
in
1902
to
attend
the
coronation
of
Edward
VII.
Madhu
Singh
II
was
a
Hindu.
He
was
religious,
so
he
did
not
consider
European
water
suitable
for
drinking
and
performing
religious
rituals
that
specifically
needed
the
water
of
the
Ganges
River,
from
which
the
name
Gangajali
came.
The
vessel
with
a
capacity
of
8,000
liters
of
water
was
sufficient
for
Madhu
Singh
II’s
short
visit
to
England.
The
capacity
of
each
silver
jar
is
4000
litres,
and
it
weighs
345
kg
with
a
height
of
1.6
metres.
It
has
won
the
Guinness
World
Records
title
as
the
largest
silver
vessel
made
without
soldering.
The
jars
were
made
over
a
period
of
two
years
between
1894
and
1896
by
two
silversmiths
in
Jaipur.
To
make
it,
14,000
molten
silver
coins
were
used
without
welding,
so
they
are
considered
one
piece
of
solid
silver.
