Jantar Mantar, Delhi

Jantar Mantar, Delhi

Jantar Mantar was constructed by Maharaja Jai Singh in the year 1724. He built other observatories in the cities of Ujjain, Mathura, and Varanasi. Raja Jai Singh found the astronomical instruments very tiny to take the exact measurements and for this reason, he made these over-sized and more precise instruments. The instruments present in this historical building are fascinating for their originality, but correct observations cannot be gathered because of the obstruction caused by tall buildings all over. Close to Patel Metro station, Jantar Mantar is open all days of the week and is open from sunrise to sunset. Read more.. Read less
