"Janta Mantar, a Jaipur park for the space-and-time-inclined, wasbuilt in the early 1700s by the Maharaja Singh.The UNESCO World Heritage site, located in the old city, contains20 large stone astronomical instrumentsdesigned to assist scientists who wereobserving the heavens with their bare eyes. The huge tools monitorcelestial happenings and are still in used today for agricultural predictions. One can walk between the impressive apparatuses and imagine the 18th-century scientists of the royal court plotting and charting impossible distances and paths."
