Jantar Mantar in Jaipur

Tourist Attractions of Jaipur - Man's curiosity about the universe and the entire cosmos is something as old as time. Over the years, many attempts have been made to decipher the mysteries of time and space. One such example is the Jantar Mantar in Jaipur, the largest stone observatory in the world.

The Jantar Mantar in Jaipur is one of the five astronomical structures constructed by Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh II between 1727 and 1734 AD. A learned astronomer himself, Sawai Singh was always fascinated by the positions and workings of the celestial bodies. So when he was commissioned to make corrections in some of the existing astronomical tables by Emperor Muhammad Shah, he took up the task with great eagerness.

As part of his task, Sawai Jai Singh sent his men to all parts of the world. These envoys came back with lots of manuals and tables on the advancements made in astronomy. Among them were the tables formulated by La Hire, which greatly impressed the king. Thereafter, he started construction on the Jantar Mantar by referring to the data available in the manual. And when the Jantar Mantar was finally complete, it was seen that the Observatory was more accurate than the table itself.

Located near the gate of the grand City Palace, the Jantar Mantar is a must visit site for anyone. Visitors to this interesting structure can also have a look at the various masonry equipments and astronomical instruments that give a good idea of what the medieval man used to think about the universe and its untold mysteries. No wonder, the Jantar Mantar is one of the most visited Tourist Attractions of Jaipur today.
