Photos of Jantar Mantar - Jaipur

Jantar Mantar Observatory is the masterpiece of Jaipur city builder Sawai Jai Singh II, who built a total of five Jantar Mantars in Jaipur, Delhi, Varanasi and other places. Tower Observatory, Jaipur is the larger one. On the green lawn, there are many strange-shaped brick buildings, as well as the world's largest sundial, each of which has a special purpose. The observation facilities reflect the intelligence and wisdom of the ancient Indian people. Jantar Mantar is a relatively well-preserved place, and various observation instruments can still be used by astronomers to this day. The construction of the observatory and the observation instruments show the amazing wisdom of the ancient Indians, who had the scientific knowledge of observing astronomy very early, which made the observatory quite famous. Here, you can see two circular sundials with a history of nearly 300 years. The twelve triangular small buildings in the courtyard represent twelve constellations, and the angles and directions of each constellation are towards their respective constellations, which are very accurate and scientific, and are still used in the study of astrology.
