The World's largest Cannon on the Wheels- Jaivana Cannon?

Jaivana- The Worlds Largest Cannon on the Wheels? Jaipur, Rajasthan

When I visited Jaipur last year, I remember reading about the Jaivana cannon. It is also thought to be one of the largest one on the wheels in the world. I tried searching for it today and could not find an authentic source that says this is the largest cannon on the wheels.

Oh! I am proud that India has the largest cannon in the world.

As far as there are no authentic sources we can say we have the largest. :)

Happy diwali to you and your family.

This canon seems to be wiped from memory, from my only visit to Jaipur and the vicinity, years back :-)

Sure looks huge. Wondering how much effort must be required to load it or move it :-|

Sangfroid, the cannon is in the Jaigarh Fort. Yes I am sure it would take great effort to fire it!
