Built in 1726 by Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh II, the fort was designed to protect the Amber Fort and its palace complex. The formidable structure is renowned for its robust architecture and extensive defensive features, including thick walls, watchtowers, and formidable gateways. Jaigarh Fort is home to the world's largest cannon on wheels, known as Jaivana Cannon.
