There are other rare and interesting
objects like giant silver vessels, each weighing 3.5 quintals, especially made to contain
Gangajal (Ganga water). The Guinness book of Records lists these as the largest silver objects in
the world. Among a fine collection of carpets is one from Heart which
is more than 17m long. The silehkhana, with its painted and mirrored ceiling, contains a large
selection of weapons which include varieties of swords and daggers, some with delicately carved jade,
ivory, crystal and horn handles and some enamelled and encrusted with jewels.
