The 'Ganga-jalis' at City Palace, Jaipur
Contained within the Maharaja's City Palace in Jaipur are the two largest single items of sterling
silver, two huge water vessels known as Gangajalis.. Each of the silver urns has a capacity of 4,091 L,
weighs 345 kg and stands at 1.6 metres, recognized by the Guinness Book of World Records as the
largest single object constructed from silver.
They were created over a two year period between 1894 and 1896 by two Jaipur silversmiths and
were fashioned from a total of 14,000 silver coins. The pair of silver water jars avoided the use of
soldering sections together, so they are considered as a solid single piece of silver. The silver urns
were constructed under the direction of maharaja Madho Singh Il's for his visit to London 1902 to
attend the coronation of Edward VII. These silver containers were filled with Ganges water, shipped
to Bombay and loaded on the ship which sailed to London. The sea voyage to London would have
taken around six months (one way).
Madho Singh Il was poised and a devout person who drank only Ganges water on his trip to England.
He knew that the Ganges water has the mystic and amazing potency of not getting spoiled or
infected even as you stored it in a closed container (If you do not believe it, try storing the ordinary
chlorinated tap water for a week vis-à-vis the Ganges water!). In addition, he knew that Ganges
water has other benefits which may even be beyond the exact explanations of the then modern
scientific understanding.
Assuming that these Gangajalis were kept on the ship deck exposed to the sunlight, the average
diurnal irradiation (for 8 hours) of the sun being 400 W/m?. Further, as far as the exposed surface
area and thickness of the jar is concerned, it can be assumed to be that of an equivalent spherical
container holding the same volume. The shining outer silver surface can be assumed to have a
reflectivity of 89%. Given that the thermal conductivity of pure silver is 407 W/mk, estimate the
temperature of the Ganges water at the end of the day, that was given to the Maharaja to drink.
