Cannon: This cannon of the Jaipur kings mounted on the
topmost hill in Jaipur is one of the biggest cannons. The wheel
of the carries is 11 ft in dia ;-). It was never used in war cos
nobody wanted to invade jaipur cos of their strong army and
the fortification.

It was test fired once, used 100 KG of finest gun powder available
in Jaipur. The cannon ball fell on a neighboring country 40 mile
away from the point of firing creating a creator which is a well now.
Also it is said that many pregnant women is Jaipur had miscarriage
due to the recoil and the pressure wave created during the firing…
