This was debated here three years ago. I think you're right that the largest
purpose-built man-made sundial is indeed at Jaipur in India. There are some
larger natural features that act as sundials, including three mountains in a
German-speaking area (Austria, perhaps, I forget?) and someone pointed out
that the whole globe is a sundial.

I recently read in The Sunday Times (a British newspaper) that the biggest
sundial in Europe is in a town in Russia. They had a picture of it.

Hope this helps
