Reviews Of Jantar Mantar, Jaipur

Jaipur, Rajasthan, India
Jantar Mantar in Jaipur is not just an observatory; it is a monumental expression of the astronomical skills and cosmological concepts of the early 18th century. Built by the scholarly Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh II between 1727 and 1734, it is one of five such observatories he constructed across India (the others being in Delhi, Mathura, Varanasi, and Ujjain), with the Jaipur one being the largest and best-preserved. The name Jantar Mantar literally translates from Sanskrit as 'calculation instrument' (Yantra meaning instrument, Mantra meaning formula or calculation). The site features a collection of approximately 19 major fixed instruments, all built in masonry and stone, that allow the observation of astronomical positions with the naked eye. These instruments were used to accurately measure time, predict eclipses, track stars and planets, and determine celestial altitudes. The most prominent instrument is the Vrihat Samrat Yantra (The Great King of Instruments), the world?s largest stone sundial, which can measure time with an accuracy of up to two seconds. The entire complex is a tribute to the scientific curiosity and royal patronage of astronomy, bearing witness to a tradition of positional astronomy shared by many global civilizations. It was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2010.
