These two gigantic silver vessels raise the beauty of this Mahal. These vessels are 5.2 feets long as well as they weigh 340 kgs , with a capacity of storing 4000 liters in it. It is said that they melted 14000 silver coins without soldering to make those vessels. Maharaja Sawai Madho Singh II who was a pious King wanted to take the holy water of Ganga while he was going to England in the year 1901. Being devoted to Hindu he could not drink English or we can say foreign water. According to him drinking foreign water is a sin so he carried Ganga water along with him.

They were created over a two year period between 1894 and 1896 by two Jaipur silversmiths. The pair of silver water jars avoided the use of soldering sections together, so they are considered as a solid single piece of silver.

These silver vessels are made just to serve the purpose of carrying water with him and now these vessels are also recorded in the Guinness Book of World Records for being the World's largest silver vessels. They were names as Gangajelies as these vessels are made to carry Ganga water in it.
