🎧 Listen to Introduction
Jantar Mantar in Jaipur is an astronomical observatory built in the early 18th century. It includes a group of about 20 major fixed instruments. They are examples of masonry of known instruments, but in many cases they have their own specific features. Designed for naked-eye observation of astronomical positions, these observatories embody several architectural and instrumental innovations. This is the most important, comprehensive and best preserved of India's historical observatories. It is a reflection of astronomical skills and cosmological concepts, a court building of a learned prince at the end of the Mughal dynasty.
