WE TALK ABOUT JANTAR MANTAR DELHI


 The Jantar Mantar in Delhi is an astronomical observatory. It was built in 1724 by Maharaja Jai ​​Singh II, along with the other four Jantar Mantars.[1] This building exemplifies the scientific advancement of ancient India. Jai Singh also built similar observatories in Jaipur, Ujjain, Mathura, and Varanasi. The Jantar Mantar in Delhi is inspired by the observatory in Samarkand. During the reign of Mohammad Shah, a debate broke out between Hindu and Muslim astronomers regarding the positions of the planets. To resolve this, Sawai Jai Singh built the Jantar Mantar. Various instruments have been installed here to measure the motion of the planets. The Samrat Yantra provides information on the time and position of the planets using the Sun. The Misr Yantra can measure the shortest and longest days of the year. The Ram Yantra and Jai Prakash Yantra provide information on the motion of celestial bodies.


This is a large-sized sundial.

King Jai Singh II was deeply interested in mathematics from a very young age. His formal education was interrupted at the age of 11 because he had to ascend the throne after his father's death. Even after ascending the throne on January 25, 1700, he continued his studies. He also studied astronomy and astrology extensively. During his reign, he collected numerous astronomical instruments and books. He also brought together leading astronomers for discussions. Hindu, Islamic, and European astronomers all contributed equally to his monumental work. During his reign, in 1727,[2] he sent a team from India to Europe to seek further information and facts related to astronomy. This team returned with only a few books, documents, and instruments. The team was unable to bring back any information about the works of Newton, Galileo, Copernicus, and Kepler, or their books.


The major instruments at Jantar Mantar include the Samrat Yantra, the Nadi Valaya Yantra, the Digamsha Yantra, the Bhitti Yantra, and the Misr Yantra, which are used to study the position and motion of the Sun and other celestial bodies. The major instruments at Jantar Mantar include the Samrat Yantra, the Nadi Valaya Yantra, the Digamsha Yantra, the Bhitti Yantra, and the Misr Yantra, which are used to study the position and motion of the Sun and other celestial bodies. The list of astronomical instruments commissioned by Raja Jai ​​Singh is as follows:


After his death at the age of 54, these observatories served as a source of inspiration and information for subsequent planetariums across the country. Recently, on Science Day, a prominent astronomer measured the position of Venus, the brightest planet in the sky, using the Ram Yantra installed at Jantar Mantar in Delhi. The study involved astronomers from the Nehru Planetarium, as well as members of the Amateur Astronomers Association and the non-governmental organization SPACE.


Jantar Mantar, a unique architectural marvel located in Connaught Place, is one of Delhi's major tourist attractions. It is an observatory equipped with 13 astronomical instruments. It was designed by Raja Jai ​​Singh. According to the French writer De Bois, Jai Singh personally created wax models of these instruments.


With the establishment of Jaipur, the then Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh II initiated the construction of Jantar Mantar. The Maharaja was interested in and knowledgeable about astrology. Jantar Mantar took approximately six years to build and was completed in 1734. It houses numerous instruments for studying the movements of the planets. This building is an example of ancient India's scientific advancement. Delhi's Jantar Mantar is inspired by the observatory in Samarkand (Uzbekistan). During the reign of Mohammad Shah, Hindu and Muslim astronomers debated the positions of the planets. To overcome this, Sawai Jai Singh built the Jantar Mantar. Raja Jai ​​Singh also integrated Indian astronomy with the ideas of European astronomers. History will forever be indebted to him for the invaluable contributions he made to astronomy during his short reign.


It is 70 feet high, 114 feet long at the base, and 10 feet thick. Its hypotenuse is 128 feet long (39 meters), parallel to the Earth's axis and pointing to the North Pole. On either side of the triangle is a quadrilateral with degrees representing hours, minutes, and seconds. At the time of the Samrat Yantra's construction, sundials already existed, but the Samrat Yantra transformed the basic sundial into a precise instrument for measuring the declination of various celestial bodies and other related coordinates. The Great Emperor Yantra can calculate local time with an accuracy of up to two seconds and is considered the world's largest sundial.[3]


The Egyptian Yantra

The Egyptian Yantra can measure the shortest and longest days of the year; it is a combination of five instruments designed as a single instrument to determine the shortest and longest days of the year.
