    Jantar Mantar Description :                                                                                 

   Maharaja Jai Singh's observatory Jantar Mantar, is is located near the junction 
   of Parliament street and Connaught Circus. Built with the main objective of 
  standardizing almanacs, the place is filled with huge concrete astronomical 
  innovations, this international sports stadium is also served by a network of specially 
  built flyovers.

   Built in 1724 by Jai Singh, the mathematician and astronomer king. The 
   Samrat and Yantra supreme instrument, the largest structure shaped like a 
   right-angled triangle, is actually a huge sun-dial; the other five instruments are
   intented to show he movements of the sun, moon etc.

   The then Mughal emperor Aurangzeb was so impressed with the young ruler 
   that he gave Jai Singh II the title of 'Sawai', meaning one and a quarter of an
    average man in worth. As Jai Singh repeatedly proved himself a worthy ally of
    the Mughals, Muhammad Shah, who was seeking a dependable ally, zeroed 
   in on Jai Singh and duly raised him to the rank of governor of Agra and later, 
   of Malwa.
