A silver trophy made in the Rajasthan capital has been acknowledged as the largest in the world by the Guinness Book of World Records.
Made by city-based artists Amit Pabuwal and wife Kiran Pabuwal, the silver trophy can be described as a piece of art, studded with gemstones.
The certificate they received from the records body reads: The largest silver trophy Trilok Rachna measures the world record 3-429m tall and 91.44 cm wide at its broadest point designed and constructed by Amit Pabuwal for the religious organisation All India Digambar Jain Samaj in Jaipur, Rajasthan, India.
