Silver kalash weighing 340 kgs contained Ganga jal. Two of these accompanied the King when he went to the UK for he only used Ganga jal.
The Maharaja (sorry forgot which one) only used Ganga jal for drinking and bathing purposes. This is a pure silver kalash weighing 340 kgs which held the Ganga jal for his personal use. When the Maharaja decided to visit the UK, two of these (filled with Ganga jal) were shipped to the UK.
