The Jantar Mantar is a collection of 19 astronomical instruments built by the Rajput king Sawai Jai Singh II in the early 18th century. These instruments, which include sundials, sextants, and
celestial globes, were used to measure time, track the positions of stars and planets, and predict eclipses.
Our images of the Jantar Mantar showcase the intricate designs and impressive scale of these instruments. You'll see the towering Samrat Yantra, a massive sundial that can accurately measure time to within
two seconds, and the Jai Prakash Yantra, a pair of hemispherical structures used to determine the position of stars.
As you browse our collection, you'll gain a deeper appreciation for the scientific and mathematical knowledge of the Rajput rulers. You'll also see how the Jantar Mantar's precise measurements and predictions
were used to support astronomy and astrology in ancient India.
