  1. Jantar Mantar Jaipur – Exploring the World's Largest Stone Sundial with Tejofy When you think of Jaipur, the Pink City, images of majestic forts and royal palaces often come to mind. But hidden in the heart of this vibrant city lies a true scientific marvel — the Jantar Mantar, a UNESCO World Heritage Site that continues to amaze visitors with its astronomical brilliance. What is Jantar Mantar Jaipur? Built by Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh II in the early 18th century, Jantar Mantar is not just an architectural delight, but also one of the most accurate observatories in the world. It houses 19 astronomical instruments, including the world’s largest stone sundial, known as the Samrat Yantra. Each structure here serves a purpose — from tracking celestial bodies to measuring time and predicting eclipses. And the best part? These calculations were all done centuries before modern telescopes were even invented! Highlights of Jantar Mantar ● Samrat Yantra – A massive triangle that tells accurate local time down to seconds. ● Jai Prakash Yantra – A concave instrument used for observing the positions of stars.

  2. ● Rama Yantra – Helps measure the altitude and azimuth of celestial objects. ● Narivalaya Yantra – Represents the two hemispheres and tells time for both. Each yantra is a testimony to the scientific spirit and architectural finesse of that era. A Paradise for Culture & Science Lovers Jantar Mantar is where science meets heritage.
