Josh Trip 6 - Jaipur JAI HO!!

Mama hum kahaan ja rahe hai.. Siddharth we are going to Jaipur, Mama wahaan pe mausam kaisa hai.. Siddharth jaise yahaan hai.. to phir wahaan kyoon ja rahe hai..

So this is how the josh trip 6 started, i call them josh trip as they are not planned  much before, we had long weekend so picked the car and drove...

Siddharth aapko fort dekhna hai ya hotel ke kids club mein Mazza karna hai.. Mama dono was the reply..

Here we are at the fort Jaigarh at Jaipur...

The main attraction in the Fort is the World Largest Canon, Jaivana cannon is the largest wheeled cannon ever constructed, located at this Fort. Cast in 1720, during the reign of Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh II of Jaipur. The formidable strength of its builder, the scientifically inclined warrior Sawai Jai Singh II, lay in the large number of artillery and copious supply of munitions which he maintained. Jaivan rests on a high 4 wheeled carriage. The front wheels are 2.74 m in diameter and the rear wheels are 1.37 m in diameter.The length of the barrel of the cannon is 20 feet 2 inches and it weighs 50 tons

The eight metals, Silver, Gold, Aluminium, Steel, Raanga, Copper, Brass and Iron were used to make this Canon.. It was a magnificent look. It was played only once till date..

    We three with the world largest canon..

This Fort is Still with the family of Raja and is run by their own management, The interesting fact was you can know whether the Raja is present in the city or not by looking at the flag..As the flag will be there on the fort if king is present in the city...

 

The Boundary wall spread in an area of 12 km around the fort, In previous times it was filled with water and crocodile.. If someone attempts to cross the crocodile will have it for food. Vivek says, if someone can climb so high to the mountain then they can climb the wall also.. 

The old age water cooler

There were swings on the trees, and Siddharth had fun and Mama was clicking...

In Jaipur, there is Jaigarh Fort, And Amer Palace to Visit, Both these places are adjacent.. The another interesting place is outside the City Palace...

A place of pigeons, as Siddharth calls them pigeon friends.. It is considered to be a auspicious place.. There are shops who sell Dana for these pigeons.. Pigeons are there for the last 70 to 80 years.. Initially there were two shops.. as the family extended now there are 10 shops

Siddharth with Pigeons.. i call this as my best shot

Hurray, pigeons has flown..

Like Father like son

After  back to hotel, Siddharth had shower in the fountain of the Garden...

Moments Son having fun with his father and water...
