Initially, the City Palace served as the residence of the Maharaja of Jaipur, but now it is a private property, in whose possession rich tourists are allowed for a rather big fee. There is a museum on the territory of the palace, where several thousand types of weapons are presented. But the unique vessel, which is made of pure silver, deserves special attention. Its weight is 345kg and its capacity is more than 4000 liters. Once upon a time, the Maharajas gathered in England, and took with them water from the Ganges in this vessel. Later, this vessel was listed in the Guinness Book of Records as one of the largest silver handicrafts in the world.
