    JANTAR MANTAR
    • Observations Of Jantar Mantar

    • Jantar Mantar is located in the Capital city of India New Delhi. “Jantar Mantar”
    literally means “instruments for measuring the harmony of the heavens”.
    • It consists of 13 architectural astronomy instruments. The site is one of five built by
    Maharaja Jai Singh II of Jaipur, from 1723 onwards, revising the calendar and
    astronomical tables.
    • Jai Singh, born in 1688 into a royal Rajput family that ruled the regional kingdom,
    was born into an era of education that maintained a keen interest in astronomy.
    • There is a plaque fixed on one of the structures in the Jantar Mantar observatory
    in New Delhi that was placed there in 1910 mistakenly dating the construction of
    the complex to the year 1710. Later research, though, suggests 1724 as the actual
    year of construction. Its height is 723 feet (220 m).
