New Delhi’s greatest monuments and must-see attractions - SilverKris

"I examined Jantar Mantar, the observatory built in 1724 by Maharaja Jai Singh II of Jaipur to keep track of calendars and astronomical tables; the site features various instruments, including a massive sundial used to track the movements of the sun, moon, and planets." - SilverKris
