Jantar Mantar Description: Jantar Mantar was built by Sawai Jai Singh. He was a great admirer of progress and research made in the fields of science and technology, but he was passionate about astronomy. Jantar Mantar is a grand celebration of astronomical science and each instrument here serves a particular function and gives an accurate reading. This is the largest of five observatories founded by him in 1716 AD. The others are at Delhi, Ujjain, Mathura & Varanasi. Its massive masonry instruments are of an extraordinary precision & can still be used to measure local time, the sun's declination, azimuth & altitude, the declination of fixed stars & planets & also to determine the time of an eclipse of the sun.
