Jantar Mantar, Jaipur: The monument site.

The monument is housed in an open space enclosed by boundary walls and maintained by Archaeological Survey of India. The instruments installed at Jantar-Mantar were built by Maharaja Jai Singh II (1699-1943AD), the king of Jaipur. He was keenly interested in Astronomy and it was due to his extraordinary interest that Jantar Mantar came into being. The photograph posted below, exclusively for you, is an overview of the premises of the monument!
