The place was built by the Maharaja Sawai Jaising to determine exact astrological time and place of sun in the constellation and zodiac sign. And it is considered very advanced during that time where astrological knowledge is bear by some chosen. Till date it shows time and place of sun in zodiac sign with the accuracy of 2 second.

A Jantar Mantar is an assembly of stone-built astronomical instruments, designed to be used with the naked eye.

Situated near the famous City Palace of Jaipur, Jantar mantar is very much related to astrology and zodiac signs. Jantar Mantar has the largest sun dial in the World. There are also giant structures of all the 12 zodiac signs. It will be better to go with a Professional guide so that he can explain everything there easily.

Loved this place and the astronomical instruments. Visited during July 2021 and the entry tickets were only INR 50, and guide charged INR 200 for group of 4The place can only be enjoyed with a guide, who will explain all the instruments and their significance. Really marvellous to know all of the science employed back in 1600s or 1700s. The guides have standard government sanctioned charges, so negotiation is not possible, also if overcharged you can ask for refund.

Biggest Jantar Mantar of India. Worth visiting if you want to see how time was measured in a world of no clocks!!

Amazing place to witness heritage astrological instruments. Do visit museum to understand it through video documentary. And please visit in cool time of the day or carry water and wear cap.

It was a pleasure to know that we were not far behind from the world because we were created in a time when we did not know much about science. It declared as world heritage site by UNESCO. If you plan to visit this site then take guide for this place.

Science as a subject in school was never really my thing, but I thoroughly enjoyed my visit to this site. It was like an ancient science experiment come to life. Built between 1727-34 AD it has a noteworthy collection of traditional astronomical instruments.I recommend a guide as most of the items would be impossible to determine what they are/were or used for. If science isnt your thing the angles and geometry if the instruments also make them very photogenic, the while place was a great unexpected surprise for me. I wish we had more time there.

The Jantar Mantar is a collection of 19 astronomical instruments built by the Rajput king Sawai Jai Singh II, the founder of Jaipur, Rajasthan. The monument was completed in 1734.[1][2] It features the worlds largest stone sundial, and is a UNESCO World Heritage site.[1][3] It is located near City Palace and Hawa Mahal.[4] The instruments allow the observation of astronomical positions with the naked eye.[1] The observatory is an example of the Ptolemaic positional astronomy which was shared by many civilizations.[1][2]

It is an astronomical observation site built in the early 18th century. It includes a set of some 20 main fixed instruments. They are monumental examples in masonry of known instruments but which in many cases have specific characteristics of their own. Designed for the observation of astronomical positions with the naked eye, they embody several architectural and instrumental innovations. This is the most significant, most comprehensive, and the best preserved of Indias historic observatories. It is an expression of the astronomical skills and cosmological concepts of the court of a scholarly prince at the end of the Mughal period.

Janta Mantar, a Jaipur park for the space-and-time-inclined, was built in the early 1700s by the Maharaja Singh. The UNESCO World Heritage site, located in the old city, contains 20 large stone astronomical instruments designed to assist scientists who were observing the heavens with their bare eyes. The huge tools monitor celestial happenings and are still in used today for agricultural predictions. One can walk between the impressive apparatuses and imagine the 18th-century scientists of the royal court plotting and charting impossible distances and paths.

Only one thing so beautiful palce .if you have interest in physics or maths than this place is haven for you tere are lots of old instruments which ware used for watching time and date . And if you will going to campair this jantar mantar with Delhis janter mantar then this one is really well maintained

Historical placeThe Jantar Mantar is a collection of 19 astronomical instruments built by the Rajput king Sawai Jai Singh II, the founder of Jaipur, Rajastha

Those who have interest in Astronomy will find it good place to enjoy

I am very surprised after watching this kind of collection of 19 astronomical instruments works on Sun moment. It features the worlds largest stone sundial and is a UNESCO World Heritage site. It is on walking distance of City Place.

Splendid Site. Hiring a guide here is a must to understand the various functionalities and philosophies of the structures. Very unique in many ways. Very well maintained. They also have a cafe inside.

At first glance, Jantar Mantar may look to be nothing more than a bunch of larger-than-life abstract sculptures. But this is not an art gallery—its a special collection of astronomical tools started by Rajput ruler Jai Singh II to measure the heavens nearly 300 years ago.Each of the 20 or so structures at the UNESCO World Heritage Site serves a distinctive purpose. The observatorys massive sun dial, known as Samrat Yantra, is particularly striking. At 27 meters tall, it casts a huge shadow that accurately measures time down to two seconds.The elaborate Jai Prakash also tracks the passing of time, using the shadow of a metal plate suspended above a sunken bowl-like structure. Other tools at the observatory can track stars and even predict eclipses.Hot tip: Its worth hiring a private guide at Jantar Mantar if you want to learn how each of the structures work.Address: Gangori Bazaar, J.D.A. Market, Pink City, Jaipur

This is one among the UNESCO world heritage site. Someone who visit this place make sure to spend atleast 2 hours checking the site with every minute details. You will be astonished to see how people were knowledgeable centuries ago and still it looks perfect.How those large constructed blocks help finding the near about perfect time, celestial object positions according to season.I was really taken a back visiting this place.

Jantar Mantar is a place in Jaipur. built by the maharaja of Jaipur in ancient time. here to measure the time, so he built strong mathematical instruments made by rocks,That is an impressive massive clock to watch out that how anyone can build this type of thing. but he did it and the fact is that Jantar Mantar is a heritage now .

Very good and knowledgefull attraction.

This place is interesting for astronomy lover, other people must take guide to understand the value of site.Best place For photography and selfi lover.

Historical place in Jaipur with important place for people who loves the touch of olden days science, maths and astrology. Beautiful garden, tea and snacks available with clean washroom. Parking available for 2/4 wheelers tourist vehicles. Entry fee for Indian citizen is Rs.50/-

Nice place with amazing instrument, not very well maintained I would say. And you would need a guide in order to underatand what exactly are these instruments used for. They are basically instruments which require high level physics and mathematics understanding.

Jantar Mantar is located in the modern city of New Delhi. It is one of the best historical monuments in India. Good place for tourism. Better place to spend time and enjoy a lot.

It is a old observatory in which mechanisms/structures for finding the suns position, earths position, rotation time etc are built/positioned.A must visit for astrology geeks.

It was a beautiful experience😊 specially seeing the collection of 19 astronomical instruments there. It features the worlds largest stone sundial, and is a UNESCO World Heritage site. Infact observing the astronomical positions with the naked eye is phenomenal. of all 19 instruments, The Ram Yantra, the Samrat Yantra, the Jai Prakash Yantra and the Misra Yantra are the distinct instruments of Jantar Mantar.We infact watched that little film giving us the brief ahout the Yantra Mantra and it was really good. We enjoyed it little more by knowing the history band everything about them.

Proud of our ancestors. But Indians do not understand the importance of this. Only one percent of Indians understand the importance of this

Who would not know of this place. A great location to witness the knowledge of great indian astrologers.... The huge monuments and instruments created to study the world beyond us are simply amazing. The precision by which they were developed then is jaw dropping... If you are science lover you will definately like this ancient space observatory.

Perfect place to go for outing..If uuh love science.. ull love this place too...

A great place, ancient engineering

Jantar mantar is good place and here the historical thing. Great Indian ancient laboratory used to measure a time of sun , moon & distance between planets. Sun instrument used for Hindu to calculate a sun location you can count time with this. Moon instrument used for a Islamic to calculate moon time. In centre One biggest instrument is situated which represents a time of day with reflection and accuracy is about fraction of second. Here is one instrument is also situated which represents the time of three earths region at a one time.

Magestic Ancient Stone Instruments

Good for a quick visit. The structures are the symbols of impeccable intelligence of past generations. Wear a cap or carry an umbrella when going in a summer afternoon.

They showed a class In a room about everything out there,it was very useful.Good to see those olden inventions

Too good and very well maintained. No mask no entry.

Jantar Mantar in Jaipur is a 18th century complex dedicated to planetarium type purposes. Im not a frequent visitor of planetariums and all about space time and stars but this place attracted me. If you are in Jaipur than surely go to jantar mantar opposite to City palace.Building have a sundial and so many architectures to represent the times and space related information in different different ways. You can spent a quality time here with your family and even alone as well and can learn some cool facts about planets stats and time. I want visit again and again

So many celestial tracking tools. You have structures that monitor time, dates, constellations with such accuracy... would be fun to visit after dark if possible. You have to go past the entrance to the ticket counter, fee for me was 200 rupees. Allow yourself at least an hour, but if you are really into these things, could easily be half to full day. Not much shade inside, so dress appropriately.

A great place that everyone must visit. This place shows the scientific knowledge that people had during olden days.

Many people think India was about rich and do-little maharajas. Some maharajas actually were educated and science loving. Jantar Mantar is an unique complex of ancient astronomic instruments commissioned by local ruler and scientist.The instruments are made of stone and operate well on time - after three centuries.

Quite a good place to visit. But a bit overatted in my opinion as compared to other great forts and castles of Rajasthan.Would improve greatly if the govt starts a demonstration of all the various instruments. That would surely be much more intriguing. Anyways must visit if u r in Jaipur.

Truly enjoyed this place.. Just amazing to realize that ppl few 100 years back were quite good at astronomy .. it is highly recommended place and please take a guide or else it’s difficult to make sense of wat the various instruments means and you would just be looking at stones..

When we talk about time, astrology, astrophysics, or clock in general, we miss to mention that from how long we have been using Sun Dial and its the power to understand the basic science behind it. Some of the best Sun Dials, fortunately, exist in India in the form of Jantar Mantar in both Jaipur and Delhi.Jaipur is 3 times bigger than Delhi and has much bigger sundials.

This heritage has been awarded by UNESCO as an ancient way to know and learn about astrology and vaastu.You can find here the biggest sun clock here.If you are in Jaipur must visit this place.

Better to hire h guide to make you understand the working and the importance of different devices built there.. Or you can read about them on google before visiting.

It was one of the most interesting places to visit in Jaipur. Because this observatory in Jaipur is in a very good condition and still workable. One should take a guide to understand the instruments and its working process properly. The suns uttarayan, dakshinayan view and angles, the worlds largest stone sundial - which can give the local time to an accuracy of 2 seconds were extraordinary.

Amazing place. Lots n lots of learning. Once youll learn about this place ,youll feel proud of our heritage and brilliant architecture.PS - Ask a local guide to explain you about this observatory.

There were five Jantar Mantars in India, of which the largest is in Jaipur which features many instruments along with the worlds largest stone sundial.At present only four Jantar Mantar exist, as the Jantar Mantar at Mathura was torn down just before Revolt of 1857

Very nice place to visit

Excellent monument to visit if you are interested in astronomy, especially Ptolemaic positional astronomy, which the Rajput king Sawai Jai Singh II was known to be an expert of. This king is also considered the founder of Jaipur, Rajasthan. Everything is well maintained and given that it relies upon the sun Im sure everything keeps perfect time! Even the birds seem to be going about their stuff fearlessly given how Rajputs are known to preserve nature and are considered the ultimate conservationists.

Its an amazing place for the people learning or curious about astrology. Having instruments for celestial positions and timing engineering just blows off.A must visit...

Amazing amazing piece of architecture, constructed by King Sawai Maan Singh of Jaipur. It was used to determine the crossing of various celestial objects and their positions in the night sky. The buildings have their specific importance and they still show the correct positions and times of the various celestial objects.

Lovely place to visit and know the deep roots of maths n astronomy

The guide charges 200 Rs for a group of 4 people, but it was totally worth it.
