Hawa Mahal

by keeweechic

Probably the most famous landmark of Jaipur is the Hawa Mahal or the ‘Palace of Winds’ as it is known because of its delicate latticed screens and arches. It was built by the poet king Sawai Pratap Singh in 1799 and is actually a distant part of the City Palace.

THE JANTAR MANTAR

by BerniShand

This is an amazing place, it looks like a painting by Dali but is in fact an observatory.

It was built by Jai Singh almost 300 years ago, he actually built five in different parts of India but this is the biggest. The sun dials are very accurate and I loved this place, not only was it very peaceful but the surreal structures are strangely beautiful

it is open from 9am to 4.30pm each day
entrance costs 100 rupees
still cameras 50 rupees, camcorders 100 rupees

Jantar Mantar

by keeweechic

The Jantar Mantar in Jaipur is one of 5 observatories which Sawai Jai Singh II built around India. This one is the largest and is also in the best condition of them all. Sawai Jai Singh was a leading astronomer as well as the found of Jaipur. Jantar-Mantar can be translated as ‘Magical Device’. It was built between 1728 and 1734. Giant stone and marble instruments are strategically laid out to accurately measure time, the altitude and the azimuth, the declination of the sun and the position of the constellations in the sky for the day, the eclipses and the related astronomical phenomena.

Open : 0930-1630 Hrs
