    One of the best old and rich science & engineering concepts I have ever visited. The items were manufactured with extreme precision. It clearly says the relationship between the position of sun and the time, really a beautiful place to visit with proper understanding. Do see some of the YouTube videos available on these concepts. You will also get a chance to see the video on the basic concepts from their office. A must visit place.

    Beautiful design of sun dial / sun clock. Combination of Art, math calculation and prediction of sun movement. Nice, fun and full of knowledge. While sight seeing, we can see the historical ways to tells time with math and logic calculation. Good place to bring your family and kids along as we can do both having holiday while learning about historical time. Minus is that no public parking nearby, you have to find parking bit far from Jantar Mantar. Of more wisely to use tuktuk or taxi to come here. If you visit at noon, consider to use your hat and sunglasses, as it is a bit hot.

    A place that must be visited with Guide otherwise it’s waste of the money and time. The monument shows different ways to measure time in the ancient era!!! Understanding of Zodiac signs transition is also there, If you want to understand this in better manner you can buy a book too. Place to show measurement tools of ancient time. Kudos to the Archeological team to maintain this monument in good state. Moreover the Lush green garden and souvenir shop is the another plus to this place. By spending Rs. 50 you can get the entry to this fantastic place.

    W had very low expectations for this place. We had budgeted for less than an hour and ended up spending more than two hours. The reason - a good English speaking guide. He explained very well and our interest in astronomy made the difference. The instruments made 100s of years ago and technology that existed was amazing. Spend some time there and get a good guide and that will make a difference.

    The place has historical instruments to study astrology using astronomical movements and their measurements. This is a great place for scientific activities during historic times. The precision of these instruments are quite accurate. The place has good grassy garden and corridor to walk around.

    It is a very beautiful place with lots of instruments to measure time and stars using sunlight. World Heritage place. It offers great learnings about how these things were measured earlier when there were no proper instruments available. Guides will tell you the significance of each and every instrument. Without the guide, it is just a park that you can cover in 20-25 mins.

    Its a good place if you are interested in historical astrology. Make sure you dont go there on a sunny hot day. Your experience will be really bad. Winter would be a great time to visit. Although I recommend not to visit during covid because very few covid rules were followed and 'bande pe banda chadha hua tha'

    Its worth it if you love about the astronomical instruments and that being built in 1734. Plenty of time to spend here.. Good breakfast/tea available inside the place.. Better to reach at around 9.30 to avoid the big line for ticket.. A video documentary is shown that makes us familiar to the place so watching the documentary immediately after visiting the place would be better to understand the place during the visit..

    Amazing place! First thing one must do is enter the information centre inside Jantar Mantar. They show a small video explaining how the sun dials work & a little history about this place! It's worth listening to before you start wondering how all the "things" here work! And yes, the sun dials actually show us the time, accurate to seconds, do check it out!

  • 5/5 DEEPAK K. 3 years ago on Google
    When Jai Singh began construction in Jaipur is unknown, but several instruments had been built by 1728, and the construction of the instruments in Jaipur continued until 1738. During 1735, when construction was at its peak, at least 23. Astronomers were employed in Jaipur, and due to the changing political climate, Jaipur replaced Delhi as Jai Singh's main observatory, and remained Jai Singh's central observatory until his death in 1743. The observatory lost support under Isvari Singh (r.1743-1750) because of a succession war between him and his brother. However, Mado Singh (r. 1750-1768), Isvari Singh's successor, supported the observatory, although it did not see the same level of activity as under Jai Singh. Although some restorations were made to the Jantar Mantar under Pratap Singh (r.1778-1803), activity at the observatory died down again. During this time, a temple was constructed, and Pratap Singh turned the site of the observatory into a gun factory.

    Jantar Mantar in Jaipur is the biggest of five cosmic observatories worked by Maharaja Jai Singh amid the period 1727-1734. Comprising of 14 noteworthy geometric gadgets for measuring time, anticipating shrouds, following stars in their circles, discovering the declination of planets and deciding the divine elevations, the observatory is a noteworthy fascination for children and grown-ups alike. There is not a solitary exhausting minute as you wonder about the operations of these gadgets. The name Jantar Mantar actually converts into instrument of figuring.

    I didn't know what to expect at Jantar Mantar. I was pleasantly surprised by the structure. Moreover, I was impressed by the guide that had been arranged for us. It was good to understand how the giant sundials have been made. It was also interesting to see that Jaipur is 33 minutes behind the time of India, as per the Sundial. A must visit if you are a person whoi believes in astrology.

    Visit Jantar Mantar in Jaipur, a captivating spot near City Palace. Admire ancient astronomical instruments from the early seventeenth century. To better understand these wonders, consider hiring a guide who can explain their workings, transforming your visit from just another building into a fascinating exploration of celestial marvels.

    It's your destination if you have a bit interest in astrology, a collection of nineteen architectural astronomical instruments with world largest stone sundial. It's a UNESCO world heritage and built by Raja Sawai Jai Singh I, the founder of city Jaipur in 1734. The monument features instruments operating in each of the three main classical coordinate system. The name Jantar derived from Sanskrit word yantra meaning machine and Mantra meaning consult or calculate.

  • 5/5 Avinal k. 5 months ago on Google
    tldr; Absolutely mind blowing. Must visit, especially if you are interested in astronomy and mathematics. This is a group of astrological instruments that mostly work on solar movement and the position of stars. You can see the gigantic creation and get yourself mesmerized with the level of accuracy and the maths that is involved. There are a lot of yantra and each of them provides one or more data points, by combining them you can gather much more data about the movement of starts and time. The big sundial was mind blowing, given the fact that it had ~2 second accuracy builds hundreds of years ago. Don't miss this if you visit Jaipur. There is a video hall as well, where how each instrument works is explained in very simple language.

    (Translated by Google) Jantar Mantar is an astronomical observatory used to measure the distance and position of celestial bodies. This monument was completed in 1734. It consists of 19 large instruments, each with a very specific purpose. The most important of these is the Samrat Yantra which is the largest sundial in India. My wife and I visited this tourist attraction as part of our luxury tour of India. We are very happy that we can see all these scientific instruments with their amazing accuracy. We learned about the importance of the zodiac. Our personal guide explained the functioning of many devices and the commentary proved to be quite interesting. A visit to this monument is highly recommended for astronomy and astrology. (Original) जंतर मंतर एक खगोलीय वेधशाला है जिसका उपयोग खगोलीय पिंडों की दूरी और स्थिति को मापने के लिए किया जाता है। यह स्मारक 1734 में बनकर तैयार हुआ था। इसमें 19 बड़े वाद्ययंत्र शामिल हैं, जिनमें से प्रत्येक में एक बहुत ही विशिष्ट उद्देश्य है। इनमें से सबसे महत्वपूर्ण सम्राट यंत्र है जो भारत में सबसे बड़ा सूंडियल है। मेरी पत्नी और मैंने भारत के हमारे लक्जरी दौरे के हिस्से के रूप में इस पर्यटक आकर्षण का दौरा किया। हमें बहुत खुशी है कि हम इन सभी वैज्ञानिक उपकरणों को उनकी अद्भुत सटीकता के साथ देख सकते हैं। हमने राशि चक्र के महत्व के बारे में सीखा। हमारे निजी गाइड ने कई उपकरणों के कामकाज के बारे में बताया और टिप्पणी काफी दिलचस्प साबित हुई। खगोल विज्ञान और ज्योतिष के लिए इस स्मारक की यात्रा की अत्यधिक अनुशंसा की जाती है।

    Jantar mantar is located near City Palace and Hawa Mahal of Jaipur. The observatory is collection of 19 geometric devices for measuring time and space for astronomy. It is also used for observing the orbits around the Sun. While the previous observatory like King Ulugh Beg was build from metal but it was less accurate and not use for long period. So Sawai Jai Singh II decided to build the observatory instruments with stone and marble because stone life is longer than metal and does not wear and tear easily. The instruments allow the visitors to observe the astronomical positions with the naked eye. Some of the instruments are built from bronze.

    A lot of interesting facts about astronomy can be found here. It’s amazing to see how these things were build long time ago. Be aware it could be very hot, there are no that many shades so better bring a hat and sunblock 😎. Try to visit early in the morning. You can hire a guide outside to get all the info about the place.

You can even find Vrihat Samrat Yantra (Largest of all Jai Singh's instruments). Please take a local guide to understand how time is measured with the help of sunlight. It is really interesting. Don't miss this place. Entry fees for Indians - 50 per person. You will be witness of extreme beauty of nature.

    The Jantar Mantar observatory in Jaipur constitutes the most significant and best preserved set of fixed monumental instruments built in India in the first half of the 18th century; some of them are the largest ever built in their categories. Jantar Mantar is an array of Indian astronomical instruments. It consists of 13 architectural astronomy instruments. The observatory is made up of geometric devices in the form of what appears to be modern architecture. These are for measuring time, predicting eclipses, tracking stars.

NOTE - It is best to take a guide else very difficult to understand and enjoy the beauty of knowledge. Overall the place is well maintained and only downside is that the writings for explanation are not well maintained and so not too easy to read or understand.

    Fascinating place to understand state of the astronomical knowledge centuries ago. Without computers, they could measure and calculate so much astronomical information. There is a sun dial with 2 seconds accuracy.

  • 4/5 Abdul A. 1 year ago on Google
    This place is HOT. Please carry an umbrella, sun screen, shades, cold water, a portable fan & visit during the evening. Apart from the really harsh weather, it’s really a scientific marvel that centuries ago something like this was made here. The ruler back then was very into astronomy & had built all of this. You need to buy an entry ticket which is priced at ₹100 & there are government certified guides available outside who charge ₹400 for the tour which I would recommend you take as well. Inside Jantar mantar, you will see the worlds largest sun dial which tells time with an accuracy down to even 2 seconds. They’ve got multiple scientific instruments, one which also calculates the date & which month we’re in as well. There’s another instrument which calculates the number of rotations by the sun in a day. You can also see which hemisphere the sun is in, as it spends 6 months in the northern & 6 months in the Southern Hemisphere. The science behind it all is something which is very mind boggling & really great minds had to be behind putting such a thing together centuries ago. If you’re up for the heat, then you can visit this place as it’s right outside the city palace. I made the mistake of visiting it before lunch & got really drained out.

    Jantar Mantar in Jaipur is a mesmerizing astronomical observatory that takes you back in time to the era of scientific marvels. This UNESCO World Heritage Site is a must-visit for history and science enthusiasts. The architecture and precision of its instruments, like the massive sundial, are awe-inspiring. However, it's important to have a guide or audio tour to truly appreciate the significance of each instrument. The site can get crowded, so visiting early in the morning is advisable. Overall, Jantar Mantar is a unique and intriguing attraction that offers a fascinating glimpse into India's scientific heritage.

    The Jantar Mantar is a collection of nineteen architectural astronomical instruments built by the Rajput king Sawai Jai Singh I, the founder of Jaipur, Rajasthan. The monument was completed in 1734.[1][2] It features the world's 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

    This place is design at its best. Functional, aesthetic, simple, beautiful and literally timeless. These ancient instruments to calculate time, sun paths, moon phases including various Zodiacs (raashis)is quite a marvel. Do visit early to avoid crowds and the blaring heat (if visiting in summers). To understand this monument better, a guide is highly recommended. Not sure about their prices as i didn't hire one. Do not miss the small shrine at the east edge of the complex. It's quite a serene spot to relax.

    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 isn't 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 had more time there.

    The Jantar Mantar in Jaipur is one of the numerous historical tourist spots in the city. Located near the City Palace, one needs a ticket to enter Jantar Mantar. You can also buy a combined ticket for most of the tourist spots or just for the Jantar Mantar. The standard rates apply, which is costlier for the foreigners and cheaper for the Indians and students. However the man sitting at the ticket counter didn't have the knowledge to understand that soft copies of ID cards are a thing. The area is neat and clean once you step inside, with lots of drinking water fountains and fairly clean toilets. Guides are also available. There are 19 astronomical instruments inside, so take your time to see and understand them. The adjoining boards aren't much helpful. Also the place gets scorching hot in the summers so best visit in the winters or during the evenings. I was glad to notice that the numerous illiterate vandals in our country hasn't yet left their inscriptions and marks in the Jantar Mantar. Maybe because it takes brains to understand the place which the vandals don't have. The City Palace and Hawa Mahal is also nearby, so visit them if you haven't, with the former being a minutes' walk and the latter a couple.

    While this is positioned as a place of ancient Indian science and technology, the place lacks the adoption of modern tech and story telling to captivate the audience by explaining the relevance of each equipment here. Apparently a guide would have made the visit worthwhile as per other reviews.

    It is a wonderful place, not just for sight seeing but to learn and worship the greatness of Indian science. If you are visiting, please hire a guide. We had Mr Shikhawat to help us explore this wonderful place. Indian history and science are celebrated in this place.

    This place is walkable from hawa mahal and city palace. It displays the advancement of science and engineering in the ancient time. I would suggest to opt for a guide, take your time to look and understand the concepts of equipments. It is worth taking kids to show them the concepts. We visited during the noon, which is not an ideal time. Visit in the morning or evening as you may not be tired by the hot sun!
