Chaksu Lake formation by Jaivan Cannon

 -JAIVAN CANNON-

The Jaivana Cannon is a large 18th-century cannon preserved at Jaigarh Fort, in Rajasthan, India. At the time of its manufacture in 1720, it was the world's largest cannon on wheels of the Early Modern Era.

The Jaivana was manufactured during the reign of Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh II (1699–1743) at a foundry in Jaigarh. 

The cannon was never used in any battle, as the Rajput rulers of Amer had friendly relations with the Mughals.

The cannon was fired only once, with a charge of 100 kilograms of gunpowder, and when fired was claimed to have covered a distance of about 35 kilometre. It is said that the projectile fired from it made a small lake in Chaksu. The cannon is now located at the Jaigarh Fort, Jaipur.
