This fort is on top of the hill, while Amber Fort is at the bottom.
Many consider the two as a complex yet both are connected with well guarded passages. Fort Jaigarh central position on the hill of thorns bushes, the leaves of a severe impact on the viewer at a time.
The fort was built Jaigarh to strengthen the defense of Amer, so it should not be surprised to find that the sharp difference in most palaces and forts of Jaipur is quite plain and simple. It has moats and all the features you expect from a full-fledged citadel.
Jaigarh Fort was made to strengthen the security of Jaipur and Amber. Due to this fact, you can not find this hard as other strong artistic and palaces, but it certainly has its own magic.The fort has many structures of medieval India, which is worth exploring. It has several palaces, granary cast, well-planned cannon, several temples and a tall tower. Jaigarh Fort used to serve as a production center of the artillery of the Rajputs.
The highlight of this fort is the huge cannon by the name of crabs held in the same production house. Crabs, the cannon, is believed to be the largest canyon in the world and the main attraction on the strength of Jaigarh. Fort domain reveals the architecture of ancient times.
Jaigarh Fort has lots of extensive water channels, which were a part of a rainwater gleaning system. The Fort also has three underground tanks, the biggest one of which can store 60, 00,000 gallons of water. One can plan to visit the armory and museum, which deserve seeing.

Main Attractions of The Fort
The Huge Cannon
Jaigarh Fort is a feat of military architecture. After entering, go directly to the giant cannon Jaiva perched atop a tower. Weighing 50 tons, with a barrel of 8 meters and a history of about 20 km, which is said to be the world's largest cannon on wheels. Such was his power that took four elephants to rotate on its axis. But surprisingly (and thankfully!) Never used. Despite its awesome firepower, which has delicate scrollwork of birds, leaves and elephant roars in its mouth.
Jaivan was test-fired once by Jai Singh in 1720 when the cannon ball shored at Chaksu about 38km away! And the affect of it was so huge that a lake formed at the spot and numerous houses collapsed in Jaipur. The cannoneer died right away after the firing, before he could even jump into water. (It is mandatory for the cannoneer to jump into water to avoid the enormous crash, and so there's always a water tank beside the cannon.)
No wonder there are enemies not set their eyes instead of Jaigarh. There is even a posting here who proudly says, "because of strong defense system, management and insight of the rulers, the enemy never dared to enter the fortress."
Vijay Garh
Walking through a large arch in the courtyard, Jaleb Chowk. But the most important is perhaps Vijay Garh fort, arsenal of strength. Apart from the huge collection of swords and small arms as time bombs, there is a blockage of the Treasury interesting with five large keys and bottles of wine and oil. The map of 1681 of amber remains here is worth a look. If the presentation of armories many combat arouses you, try their hands on the mini gun that makes a pretty big noise.
The Jaigarh Cannon Foundry
The Jaigarh cannon foundry, constructed by Bhagwan Das in the 16th century, is one of the few enduring medieval foundries in the globe. It has a furnace, lathe tools and a collection of guns. Bhagwan was adopted son, Man Singh I, who brought the mystery of gunpowder from Kabul in 1584 when the latter was the commander of Akbar's army.
Soon the guns began to be made in Jaigarh, to the chagrin of the Mughals who kept the mystery for themselves since used to fight the Lodis and Rajputs in 1526 (History of Delhi for further verification.)
There is a point called Damdam ('continuous operation' meaning), which used to be a ten-gun battery in a position to see any approaching army. This faces the road to Delhi. This led few to consider that Man Singh secretly preparing for a smackdown with their Mughal allies.
Seven Storeyed- Diya Burj
The highest point is Jaigarh seven-story Diya Burj, the tower lights, which affords a panoramic view of the city of Jaipur. Also interesting is the water supply and storage system of the fort, a marvel of planning. Sagar Talava with octagonal bastions and huge dams, is one of the great reservoirs of strength.

But it goes a step in front of the Amber Fort in terms of protection; it has a Khilbat Niwas (Commanders' Meeting Hall) in place of the Diwan-i-Khas (Hall of Private Audience). There's also the open columned hall, Subhat Niwas. But these are unimportant structures as evaluate to the ones in Amber Fort. This region of the fort is full of secret back passages for royal escape in times of emergency.
The luxury suites are a lot there - Aram Mandir breeze (Nursing Home) and the Vilas Mandir 16 Century (Holiday House). The former has a lovely garden attached to it.
