Jantar Mantar, Jaipur

The Jantar Mantar is a fascinating collection of architectural structures built for solely astronomical purposes in the early 18th century. The various structures were used for making measurements from the stars or harnessing the sun's light as huge sundials. This 'observatory' is an unforgettable sight, with strange structures all around, their unfamiliar forms appearing like something out of a fantasy film set.
