Jantar Mantar in Jaipur, India is filled with the most interesting shapes. This 18th century observatory houses some of the world’s largest astronomical measuring devises, most the size of multi-story buildings. I was fascinated by the geometric forms and the windows peaking into another world. 58mm 1/250@f11, ISO100

The Jantar Mantar (Hindi: जंतर मंतर) is a historic monument in Jaipur, the capital of the Indian state of Rajasthan. Built primarily in the 1720s and 1730s for astronomical purposes, it houses, among other 18 oversized instruments, the world's largest stone sundial (27 meters high). It was declared a State Protected Monument in 1948 and is part of the list of Indian Monuments of National Importance.
Non lontano dal maestoso complesso del Palazzo Reale di Jaipur sorge un'altra delle grandi attrazioni della città rosa: il Jantar Mantar, l'osservatorio astronomico, che racconta la storia dei progressi scientifici dell'India in un percorso tanto originale quanto coinvolgente ed affascinante. L'osservatorio, infatti, si presenta come un complesso insieme di strumenti, alcuni dei quali di grandissime dimensioni e chiamati yantra, che vennero progettati dal Maharajah in persona per calcolare con la massima precisione possibile il tempo e i movimenti celesti. Sono strumenti di grandissima importanza storica dal momento che vennero costruiti in un arco di tempo compreso tra il 1728 e il 1734.
near the majestic complex of the Royal Palace of Jaipur stands another of the great attractions of the pink city: the Jantar Mantar, the astronomical observatory, which tells the story of India's scientific progress in a journey as original as fascinating and fascinating. The observatory, in fact, presents itself as a complex set of instruments, some of which are very large and called yantra, which were designed by the Maharajah in person to calculate time and celestial movements as accurately as possible. They are instruments of great historical importance since they were built in a period of time between 1728 and 1734.
The Jantar Mantar is a collection of 19 astronomical instruments built by the Rajput king Sawai Jai Singh, the founder of Jaipur, Rajasthan. The instruments allow the observation of astronomical positions with the naked eye.

I don't usually put long descriptions, however the Jantar Mantar or astronomical observatory in Jaipur is an amazing place.
A collection of architectural astronomical instruments, built by Maharaja (King) Jai Singh II at his then new capital of Jaipur between 1727 and 1734 and modeled after the one that he had built for him at the then Mughal capital of Delhi.

A Jantar Mantar (Hindustani pronunciation: [d͡ʒən̪t̪ər mən̪t̪ər]) is an assembly of stone-built astronomical instruments, designed to be used with the naked eye. There were five Jantar Mantars in India, all of them built at the command of the Rajah Jai Singh II, who had a keen interest in mathematics, architecture and astronomy; four remain, as the Jantar Mantar at Mathura was torn down just before the revolt of 1857. The largest example is the equinoctial sundial belonging to Jaipur's assembly of instruments, consisting of a gigantic triangular gnomon with the hypotenuse parallel to the Earth's axis. On either side of the gnomon is a quadrant of a circle, parallel to the plane of the equator. The instrument can be used with an accuracy of about 2 seconds by a "skilled observer" to measure the time of day, and the declination of the Sun and the other heavenly bodies. It is the world's largest stone sundial, known as the Vrihat Samrat Yantra. The Jaipur Jantar Mantar is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
In the early 18th century, Maharaja Jai Singh II of Jaipur constructed five Jantar Mantar in total, in New Delhi, Jaipur, Ujjain, Mathura and Varanasi; they were completed between 1724 and 1735.
The Jantar have like Samrat Yantra, Jai Prakash, Ram Yantra and Niyati Chakra; each of which are used to for various astronomical calculations. The primary purpose of the observatory was to compile astronomical tables and to predict the times and movements of the sun, moon and planets.
