Jaigarh Fort is located on the hill known as Cheel ka Teela (Hill of Eagles) in the Aravalli range; it overlooks the Amber Palace (better known as Amer Fort) as well as the Maota Lake, near Amer town in Jaipur, Rajasthan. The fort was completed by Sawai Jai Singh in the year 1726 for protecting Amer Fort as well as its palace complex and this this fort was named after him.
The fort bears resemblance to Amer Fort in structural design and is also called Victory Fort. It is spread across a length of 3 km. Jaigarh Fort was known to be centre of artillery production for the Kachhwaha Rajputs. The fort has a cannon called "Jaivana" (Jaivan Cannon) which was manufactured in 1720 by Sawai Jai Singh II in the cannon foundary of this fort and was then known as the world's largest cannon on wheels. Jaigarh Fort and Amer Fort are also connected by subterranean passages and hence they are considered as one complex. The Jaigarh Fort, situated is built about 400 m above the Amer Fort and it gives an excellent of view of Aravalli hills as well as the Amer Fort down below.
It is located about 10 km away from Jaipur city. It can be reached by taking a short diversion from the Jaipur-Delhi Highway, which leads to the Dungar Darwaza ('Darwaza' means "gate"), and the same road leads to yet another important fort known as Nahargarh Fort. One can also reach at Jaigarh Fort from the Amer Fort by taking a short climb along a steep hill track, and arrive at the Awami Gate situated near the Jaigarh fort museum.
During Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan's reign, Jaigarh Fort, which is situated 150 miles south-west of Delhi, became one of the most efficient cannon foundries of the world because of the abundance of iron ore mines in close to the fort.
The water supply facilities within the fort premises was met by using water harvesting structures in close to the Aravalli catchment and passing water through a canal on the fort's west side over a distance of 4 km to be stored in three separate underground tanks located right below the central courtyard. The largest tank is known to have a capacity of 6 million(60 Lakh) gallons of water. A treasure that is believed to be of the Kachwaha rulers of Amer had also been stacked in this water tanks. The search operation was ordered during the Emergency declared by the Prime Minister of India, Indira Gandhi during 1975-1977. However, the search operation that was carried out for treasures by an Indian Army unit at Jaigarh Fort, after 3 months search had found only 230 kg of Silver.
The armoury chamber at this fort displays various swords, shields, guns, muskets and also the 50 kg cannonball of Jaivan Cannon. Gallers has old photographs of Jaipur's Maharajas Sawai Bhawani Singh and Major General Man Singh II who served in the Indian Army as senior officers.
