In visiting England some time ago, one of he previous Maharajah's of Jaipur commissioned two very large silver "water jugs" to transport the water of the Ganges to England. They're currently the two largest pieces of silver in existence, and they are huge - each one stands about 5 feet tall.We also toured the Maharaj's palace in Jaipur, which was an interesting economic situation. Basically the boy had this huge palace, but when the Brits took over, he couldn't afford it any longer. The current maharaj (yep, there is one) lives in just one part of the structure (when he's not playing Polo with Prince Charles in England).
