Jantar Mantar was built in 1734; it is very shocking to think how it can build so early without any science and technology. There were around 23 astronomers invited to build Jantar Mantar; because it was the dream project of the king Sawai Jaisingh, the most important was the Samrat Yantra.
The speciality of the instrument is that the celestial objects can be seen through naked eyes. Ptolemaic positional astronomy system was developed in the famous architectural monument in Jaipur.
The structure was built using marbles and stones that make it standby till today; the structure is spread over 18000sq mtrs. Actually, many kings tried to make the open-air observatory, but many failed, so as seen as a victory of Maharaja Sawai Jaisingh.
Various types of chakras and yantra have been installed to predict the different zones at different distances.
The light in the evening is very interesting, as it attracts the audience with the different colours and hues, explaining to the audience the history of Jantar Mantar and also about the Pink City. Time is worth spending in the Jantar Mantar. It will make you think about science and tech once. Must visit Jantar Mantar with us.
