ABSTRACT
The Jaivana Cannon was cast in 1720 during the reign of Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh II and is located at Jaigarh Fort in Jaipur. Considered the world's largest wheeled cannon at the time, it weighs 50 tons, has a barrel over 20 feet long, and was fired only once, reportedly with a charge of 100 kg of gunpowder. Although it was never used in battle, it remains a testament to the era's military engineering.
