Diwan-i-Khas, City Palace of Jaipur

View of the Diwan-i-Khas with the silver urns. (6 November, 2004)


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

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
