Jantar Mantar in New Delhi is a surprisingly amazing place that holds a historical significance. The Observatory was also built by the talented Maharaja Jai Singh II. He is said to be an avid astronomy enthusiast and built observatories in Jaipur, Delhi and Varanasi. With five observatories, the Jantar Mantar Observatory is the largest and most preserved. The materials used in the building are ancient sedimentary rock, but one can't see how old they are because they look very modern. The world's largest sundial, two time measuring instruments with a large circle, 12 constellation triangle building for the layman seems so amazing, must be the best place for astronomy enthusiasts!

In 1782, the prince Sawayi Jay Singh II ordered the construction of his territory's celestial observatory and became the largest preserved ancient observatory in India. The various astronomical instruments here are exactly the same as the ancient Chinese astronomical observatories. They are also the splendid ancient civilizations, as well as the long history of human civilization. This earth is the long-term human being because of the dazzling light of the four ancient civilizations. In the dark period, the fear is overcome. Standing in this dazzling astronomical observatory, people can't help but sigh: Hello, ancient civilization of mankind.
