Diwan-i-Khas, City Palace of Jaipur

The Diwan-I-Khas of Jaipur (GPS: 26.92647, 75.82386) is an open hall in the City Palace of Jaipur. The Diwan-i-Khas consists of two row of columns with scalloped arches. I visited it when I explored Jaipur with a small group of AsiaExplorers members.

The main attraction at the Diwan-i-Khas of Jaipur are the two massive silver vessels. These pair of silver vessels are figured in the Guinness Book of World Records as the biggest silver vessels in the world. They were used for carrying water from the holy Ganges for Maharaja Madho Singh II's use during his journey to England.

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
