    Visited here after 30 years which brought back memories from my school trip and found that the facilities for navigation in a large area are superb. The paper ticketing is discontinued and entry is by scanning a QR code and payment by net banking. The facilities like washrooms and well-paved paths are worth noticing. Another remarkable feature here are the tactile maps and diagrams of the monuments that the blind can touch-sense to get an idea of the real object. Besides that there is also a large information metal board embossed in Braille with description of the monument. ♿ Accessibility Features: Yes=Ramp access. Yes=A wheelchair-accessible Entrance. Yes=A wheelchair-accessible Restroom/Toilet. Yes=A wheelchair-accessible Seating. Yes=A wheelchair-accessible Parking.

    👑🙆👌Jantar Mantar is located in the modern city of New Delhi. “Jantar Mantar” literally means “instruments for measuring the harmony of the heavens”. It consists of 13 architectural astronomy instruments. It's a nice and quiet place amidst the hustle and bustle of Central Delhi. You can visit for a few nice clicks and also to witness one of the oldest ways of measuring time and the position of celestial bodies devised in medieval India. The maintenance of lawns and green area is extremely good. >Entry fee 20 for online tickets. >25 for taking from the counter

    Great Indian ancient laboratory used to measure a time of sun , moon & distance between planet's. Sun instrument used for Hindu to calculate a sun location you can count time with this. Moon instrument used for a Islamic to calculate moon time. In centre One biggest instrument is situated which represents a time of day with reflection and accuracy is about fraction of second. Here is one instrument is also situated which represents the time of three earth's region at a one time. Also in a year one day and night is same in time in that day one black room is filled with light this room calculation and placing is amazing. All things are amazing and is superior. In ancient time when all other are in leaf clothing India is on some superior level and have great knowledge of earth ,sun, moon, planet's calculation, Wow. Proud to be Indian.

    Nice quiet place on Janpath Road. Good for children to learn the ancient technology used by our ancestors. Price is Rs 20/- if booked online but at counter its Rs 25/-. Children under 15 its free. Recommend people who visit to see this as its a important monument. Note - please stop using plastic and don't throw the chips packets, sachets etc. Let's keep our country clean.

    This place is an observatory that was built by Maharaja Jai Singh II of Jaipur in 1724. The observatory has 13 instruments that were used to study the stars. It’s amazing to think about how people built these structures without modern technology. I definitely recommend checking it out if you’re ever in Delhi!

    Several Astronomic Instruments from the 1700s, so a bit of history to visit. Most of the structures are pretty run down and faded, however, still photogenic. There are 6 locations arou d the country to visit, just. know the one. in Jaipur although in better condition costs almost 1200 for foreigners.

  • 5/5 Nabanita H. 1 month ago on Google • 112 reviews New
    3 to 5 min walk from Janpath metro station. The entry ticket cost is rs 25, and if bought online, it is rupees 20. It closes at 6 pm. A photogenic place, nothing much to see as you can not enter inside the monument.

    A very different type of place , just next to Connaught place outer circle. Ticket can be bought there or online too. Parking is easily available on weekends. The place is a collection of many yantras or different type of ancient clocks that shows advanced science present in India during pretty ancient times. The place is not very well kept and looked after which makes me feel very bad. While other countries make a lot of money through tourism, India having so many gems in its bag, is wasting them.

    Jantar Mantar is located in the modern city of New Delhi. It consists of 13 architectural astronomy instruments. The site is one of five built by Maharaja Jai Singh II of Jaipur, from 1723 onwards,revising the calendar and astronomical tables. There is a plaque fixed on one of the structures in the Jantar Mantar observatory in New Delhi that was placed there in 1910 mistakenly dating the construction of the complex to the year 1710. Later research, though, suggests 1724 as the actual year of construction. Its height is 723 feet (220 m).The primary purpose of the observatory was to compile astronomical tables, and to predict the times and movements of the sun, moon and planets. Some of these purposes nowadays would be classified as astronomy. Completed in 1724, the Delhi Jantar Mantar had decayed considerably by 1867. The Ram Yantra, the Samrat Yantra, the Jai Prakash Yantra and the Misra Yantra are the distinct instruments of Jantar MantarThe 4 distinct instruments within the observatory of Jantar Mantar in New Delhi: the Samrat Yantra, the Jayaprakash, Rama Yantra and the Misra Yantra. Samrat Yantra: The Samrat Yantra, or Supreme Instrument, is a giant triangle that is basically an equal hour sundial. It is 70 feet high, 114 feet long at the base, and 10 feet thick. It has a 128-foot-long (39 m) hypotenuse that is parallel to the Earth's axis and points toward the North Pole. On either side of the triangle is a quadrant with graduations indicating hours, minutes, and seconds. At the time of the Samrat Yantra's construction, sundials already existed, but the Samrat Yantra turned the basic sundial into a precision tool for measuring declination and other related coordinates of various heavenly bodies. Jaya Prakash Yantra: The Jaya Prakash consists of hollowed out hemispheres with markings on their concave surfaces. Crosswires were stretched between points on their rim. From inside the Ram, an observer could align the position of a star with various markings or a window's edge. Rama Yantra: Two large cylindrical structures with open top, used to measure the altitude of stars based on the latitude and the longitude on the earth. Misra Yantra: The Misra Yantra (literally mixed instrument) is a composition of 5 instruments designed as a tool to determine the shortest and longest days of the year. It could also be used to indicate the exact moment of noon in various cities and locations regardless of their distance from Delhi. The Misra yantra was able to indicate when it was noon in various cities all over the world and was the only structure in the observatory not invented by Jai Singh II. Between 1727 and 1734 Jai Singh II built five similar observatories in west-central India, all known by the name Jantar Mantar. They are located at Jaipur, Ujjain, Mathura, and Varanasi. While the purpose of the Jantar Mantar was astronomy and astrology (Jyotish), they are also a major tourist attraction and a significant monument of the history of astronomy.

    This is what I would call the greatest science museum in India. You will be amazed to know that people in the past were so smart. They can create "gadget","tools" to calculate time, astronomy, or even horoscope if I understand correctly.

  • 1/5 Li Yang L. 1 month ago on Google • 88 reviews New
    As a non-American foreigner, my visit to Jantar Mantar left me deeply dissatisfied. The exorbitant prices imposed on foreigners, which are ten times higher than those for locals, felt unjustifiable. What awaited inside was nothing short of underwhelming – imagine a skate park where you're only allowed to watch from a distance, unable to engage or appreciate the structures up close. Adding insult to injury, the descriptions provided for each structure were painfully vague, failing to shed any light on their historical or scientific significance. As I wandered through the premises, I couldn't help but feel disconnected and ignorant, left to wonder about the purpose and relevance of each monument. In all honesty, I cannot in good conscience recommend Jantar Mantar to anyone, whether they're a foreign visitor or a local resident. The lack of value for money, combined with the absence of informative guidance, renders this attraction a disappointment for all.

    This observatory is Free Entry in Delhi. There are around 13 architectural astronomical structures built .One can Climb the Mishra Mantar but the Samrat Yantra is locked and one is not allowed to climb due to safety reasons. The Rama Yantra was fun walking through. Always wear comfortable shoes and carry a water bottle as going around dehydrates . There are numerous vendor selling snacks but may not be hygienic.

    Jantar Mantar is like an astronomical observatory that was built a long time ago. It has about more than ten individual structures built in a spacious setting. Each of these structures was built with a certain purpose and one can see that in the description put beside them. It was amazing to see these structures built with such precision and symmetry. The entire monument is well maintained and taken care of. Certain areas of these monuments are restricted for the public for obvious reasons. Overall, it a must visit place for tourists and enjoy the architecture. This complex needs an entry ticket and the monument is well connected and easy to reach.

    Exploring Jantar Mantar in Delhi is a journey through the marvels of ancient astronomy, showcasing incredible science-backed structures that once served as ingenious tools for astronomers. The precision and foresight behind various yantras is truly remarkable and it demonstrates a deep understanding of celestial movements. The architectural brilliance is evident, and the scale of these instruments is awe-inspiring. However, without a knowledgeable guide, deciphering the purpose and functioning of each structure can be challenging for visitors. The site could benefit from informative signage to enhance the experience for those without expert guidance. Nevertheless, Jantar Mantar stands as a testament to India’s scientific heritage, offering a unique glimpse into the astronomical prowess of a bygone era.

    It was indeed a great experience here. It was absolutely amazing to see such old instruments. It was really intriguing how it works and how could they develop such instruments 😮🫡. I wanted to have deep insights about the yantras (instruments) and how they work but since there were no guides available so i couldn't. But it was an amazing experience. I was really kinda shocked these were developed around 300 yrs ago and it made me wonder how much time consuming it would be to create a kundli. And today we can do it with just a single click.

    When I went to Jantar Mantar, there were not many people so it was really calm and peaceful place to be at. The whole area is clean and well maintained and has good amount of greenery. It is fascinating to even imagine how intelligent and creative our ancestors must have been that they built such a structure which is not only beautiful but also serves a purpose....

    Jantar mantar is an archaeological structure which was used in ancient times to measure the size of celestial bodies and to measure the time using a giant sun dial. Clean and nice place to visit and feel the history of India. Tip: although there is no much crowd, buy tickets online which would be hassle free and won't add waste.

  • 5/5 Adarsh P. 3 years ago on Google
    The Jantar Mantar is an equinoctial sundial, 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 is intended to measure the time of day, correct to half a second and declination of the Sun and the other heavenly bodies. Between 1724 and 1730 Maharajah Sawaii Jai Singh II of Jaipur constructed five astronomical observatories in northern India. The observatories, or "Jantar Mantars" as they are commonly known, incorporate multiple buildings of unique form, each with a specialized function for astronomical measurement. These structures with their striking combinations of geometric forms at large scale have captivated the attention of architects, artists, and art historians world wide, yet remain largely unknown to the general public Source - Wikipedia

    A place of historical importance. It was built by an Indian king. It has everything inscripted in detail about each instrument. It takes you less than one hour to tour the place. However, there is no facility for at least drinking water. Yet, a good place to visit for astronomical students and those who are interested in science and maths.

    Located not far from India Gate, the observatory charges a fee of around 20 rupees that is scanned and paid at the entrance. Parking is available in the nearby car park, but there isn't much space due to the rush at nearby places. According to Google, the "Jantar Mantar" consists of 13 architectural astronomy instruments for measuring heaven's harmony. Besides being a history, it also contains many old buildings with marvelous designs. Unless you are a history buff, I wouldn't recommend visiting the place; otherwise, it would be a waste of 20 rupees for people without an interest in history.

    It’s a wonderful place to come up with your kids to make them aware about our rich astrological discoveries and how we in India used to calculate the timings of sunset n sunrises, eclipses, planet distances etc. No food is allowed inside. Ticket is nominal 25 rs. Time required to roam around and read about all the construction is 1-2 hours.

    A wonderful ancient time measuring instrument, Jantar Mantar is situated right next to Janpath, which means it is extremely easy to reach. Parking might be a little hassle, so, I'd suggest taking an auto-rickshaw from CP and reaching there easily. Entry is 20 rupees for Indian citiizens, and the compound itself is well maintained and you can go around, explore the place, gawk at the massive structures that stand tall and ofcourse create a lot of photos as well. Timings are from sunrise to sunset (6am to 5:30pm), and during winters, the best time to visit is around 4:30pm when the sun is out to set and the light is just perfect.

    A place you can go to with kids to quench your curiosity of the famous image we see in our books and for a relaxed time. But the instruments were not very well maintained and we aren't allowed very close. So it was a bit of a bummer. On the other hand if we think of a broader picture, it's stunning to know that we had such precise calculating technology in those days. They can be used as a source of inspiration

Inside it you will also be able to see Ram Yantra. You may also be able to see parrots in the garden sitting calmly if you are lucky enough. Overall it's a good place to hang out.

    Visiting Delhi's Jantar Mantar was an awe-inspiring experience. The historical observatory stood tall, showcasing the genius of ancient Indian astronomers. The intricately designed instruments and structures left me fascinated by their precision and ingenuity. The atmosphere was alive with the echoes of the past, as I imagined the scholars who once gathered there to unravel the mysteries of the universe. The bustling surroundings and the vibrant energy of the city added an extra layer of excitement. Jantar Mantar truly offered a glimpse into India's rich scientific heritage

    Jantar Mantar, located in the heart of Delhi, is a remarkable astronomical observatory and an architectural marvel that bears witness to India's rich scientific heritage. Constructed by Maharaja Jai Singh II of Jaipur in the early 18th century, this monumental complex serves as a testament to India's enduring fascination with astronomy and mathematics. Jantar Mantar consists of 13 unique instruments designed for the precise measurement of time, tracking celestial movements, and predicting astronomical events. The most prominent among these is the Samrat Yantra, an enormous sundial that stands at 90 feet in height and is capable of measuring time with incredible accuracy. The Ram Yantra and Jai Prakash Yantra, two other prominent instruments, are dedicated to tracking the positions of celestial bodies like the sun and stars. The observatory's architectural design is a mesmerizing fusion of mathematics and aesthetics. The instruments are constructed from stone and marble, and their geometric precision is awe-inspiring. Each element of Jantar Mantar is carefully aligned with the celestial axis and built to perform specific astronomical calculations. The geometric complexity of these structures reflects India's deep-rooted dedication to the sciences. Jantar Mantar is not only a scientific marvel but also a cultural heritage site that attracts tourists and astronomers from around the world. It has earned its place as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and its preservation is crucial to safeguard the legacy of India's scientific achievements. Visiting Jantar Mantar is like stepping back in time to an era when science and architecture were deeply intertwined. It offers a unique opportunity to appreciate the intellectual achievements of India's past and the enduring fascination with the cosmos. Jantar Mantar stands as a symbol of the country's profound commitment to understanding the universe and remains a source of inspiration for modern scientists, historians, and anyone with an appreciation for the marvels of ancient knowledge.

    The most innovative thing constructed by the ancient Indians. I will suggest you to take a guide so that we know exactly about everything here.the best thing here is the ancient clock where we can tell the exact time by the sunlight falling on this clock.

    Good place. Amazed to see such a large sundial with this much precision. The ticket price is now 25 (cash) and 20 (online payment via paytm or G-pay). You have to go to the ASI pay government website (provided on the entrance gate wall) and provide necessary details, then finally pay. But very disappointed to see that most of the people are considering these precious observatories as selfie points, sitting on them to have a nice photo!!!! Very few people were interested in reading the information and taking pictures of them. It's so inappropriate!

    It holds a lot of history but the place not highly maintained it is at ok stage. You cannot go inside the structure to see the area. Different section and you can read about it. Try to avoid sunny days. You have to pay a small token amount before entering as they are taking it as maintaince fee. Worth one visit or if you are visiting after long time (years) once again then you will definitely notice the differences

    Jantar Mantar is an astronomical observatory and equinoctial sundial in Delhi, India. It was built in 1724 by Maharaja Jai Singh II of Jaipur. The name "Jantar Mantar" translates to "instruments for measuring the harmony of the heavens" Jantar Mantar is located on Parliament Street, Janpath, and is accessible from the Rajiv Chowk, Patel Chowk, and Janpath Metro stations. It's open every day from 9 AM–6 PM. The entry fee is INR 15 for Indians and SAARC visitors, and INR 200 for foreign tourists. Video filming costs INR 25 per person. Some say Jantar Mantar is a lovely monument and a beautiful and historic place. Others say it's a must-visit for anyone interested in astronomy and science, and a nice place to hang out with friends and family.

    Jantar Mantar is an astronomical observatory built by Maharaja Jai Singh II of Jaipur in 1724 in New Delhi. It is one of the five observatories he constructed in different cities of India to revise the calendar and astronomical tables. It consists of 13 architectural instruments that can measure the time, the position of the sun, the moon, and the planets, and other celestial phenomena. ¹² Some of the notable instruments at Jantar Mantar are: - Samrat Yantra: A giant sundial that can tell the time of the day with an accuracy of 2 seconds. - Ram Yantra: A pair of cylindrical structures that can measure the altitude and azimuth of any star. - Jai Prakash Yantra: A concave hemisphere that can locate the position of the sun and other heavenly bodies. - Misra Yantra: A combination of four instruments that can determine the shortest and longest days of the year, the exact time of noon, and the declination of the sun. Jantar Mantar is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a popular tourist attraction in Delhi. It is open from 6:00 am to 6:00 pm every day and the entry fee is 20 rupees for Indians and 250 rupees for foreigners.

    Ancient observatory, but without any guidance, no guides, no informative leaflets, no proper explanatory boards how the instruments were used, what kind of measurements gained, what is their precision, how the measurements gained were used etc. As an astronomical enthusiast, one gains nearly nothing from this place. Prices are total rip-off for no value. Why to pay 250 Rs (only 25 Rs for locals) for this? The place is maintained as a park or monument, and its scientific, astronomical value is totally neglected. Total disappointment. I honestly can't recommend anyone with any scientific or astronomical interest to visit here. If you are interested in history of astronomy, it's far better to buy a book. Don't come here unless you have studied a book on it, and have the book with you. Better visit a nice park instead, you gain nothing by visiting Delhi Jantar Mantar.

    Who says the ancient Indians were not magnificent! Atleast before 1710 it's there, the Sawai Singh ji had built the yantras with such brilliance, so much so that British had restored it and now is a UNESCO site. Such beautiful gardens, fruitful trees and flowers, this place is a must go for peace. Went with my family and they are very happy to be here, all facilities are nearby. Most recommended from me.

    This is a unique observatory constructed by Sawai Raja Jai Singh II. He also constructed such observatories in Ujjain, Jaipur, Mathura and Varanasi. The shasthamasa yantra and The Jaiprakash Yantra are present in delhi and jaipur observatories exclusively. You get such an amazing glimpse of past in only a nominal charge of 20/- rupees.

    Jantar Mantar is located in the modern city of New Delhi. “Jantar Mantar” literally means “instruments for measuring the harmony of the heavens”. It consists of 13 architectural astronomy instruments. The site is one of five built by Maharaja Jai Singh II of Jaipur, from 1723 onwards, revising the calendar and astronomical tables. Jai Singh, born in 1688 into a royal Rajput family that ruled the regional kingdom, was born into an era of education that maintained a keen intrest in astronomy. There is a plaque fixed on one of the structures in the Jantar Mantar observatory in New Delhi that was placed there in 1910 mistakenly dating the construction of the complex to the year 1710. Later research, though, suggests 1724 as the actual year of construction. Its height is 723 feet (220 m).

I also learned that Sawai Jai Singh was very interesting person. Meanwhile he had interest in watching cosmic actives at that time. English culture and education might have dominated our society but Bhartiya knowledge is there unrecognised by our generation. We have to recognise it sooner and learn more and more about it, So that we can save it and learn to use it for our own growth. The architectures inside the premises are actually various devices which works differently. There 4 such devices to study Cosmic activity with respect to time like about sun, moon, planets and stars. Everyone must visit this place along with there children and tell them about it learn it explore it.

    Jantar Mantar of Delhi is one of 5 observatories built by the Sawai Maharaja Jai Singh II of Jaipur. He was in the nau ratna of Akbar and the observatory in Delhi was built in 1723. Samrat Yantra is the largest sun light clock built here. Apart from this various other instruments were also built by him to measure the positions of heavenly bodies and time calculation. Other observatories like this are located at Ujjain, Mathura, Varanasi and Jaipur. Now a days ASI - Archeological Survey of India is taking care of it. But this is not cared as good as it should be. On the name of care they are adding modern cement concrete, due to that the observatory is loosing it's ancient heritage look. We need to care our historical monuments.

Indian Citizens off line ticket charge is 25 while online is 20. It's ok to visit once and during evening time, also learn there how they were measure the exact time with instruments and building shadows.

    A good place with historical value and great for quick visit. But I feel there should be guides who are well informed about the history, relevance and usage of those sundials and from them we can get educated about this beautiful astronomical structure, only information board cannot convey the actual working process of those figures. I believe it has more to offer than just a good background for pictures and a weekend gateway.

    Lotus Temple is a recent monument in the historical city of Delhi, and owing to its beautiful design and free entry, it is one of the popular sites for Delhites. Full marks for cleanliness and security. But it is too crowded on holidays (as it has free entry), and there is littering all around the boundaries. People have no respect for our monuments and lack sense of cleanliness, which should be developed among ourselves.

    Jantar Mantar is an astronomical observatory built by Maharaja Jai Singh II of Jaipur in New Delhi, India. It consists of a collection of nineteen architectural astronomical instruments, built to measure the positions of the Sun, Moon, planets, and stars. The observatory is one of five built by Jai Singh II, the other four being in Jaipur, Ujjain, Varanasi, and Mathura. The Jantar Mantar in New Delhi is the largest and best-preserved of the five observatories. It is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The observatory is open to the public and is a popular tourist destination. The instruments at the Jantar Mantar are made of stone and marble. They are aligned with the cardinal directions and are designed to measure the positions of the Sun, Moon, planets, and stars. The instruments are divided into two groups: the sundials and the non-sundials. The sundials are used to measure the time of day. The most famous sundial at the Jantar Mantar is the Samrat Yantra. The Samrat Yantra is a large gnomon, or sundial, that is 27 feet tall. It is the largest sundial in the world. The non-sundials are used to measure the positions of the Sun, Moon, planets, and stars. The most famous non-sundial at the Jantar Mantar is the Ram Yantra. The Ram Yantra is a large circular instrument that is used to measure the positions of the planets. The Jantar Mantar is a fascinating and important historical site. It is a testament to the astronomical knowledge of the Mughal Empire. The observatory is a popular tourist destination and is a great place to learn about astronomy

    The history we may all know about this, if anybody doesnt then he/she must have google it to know about this. What I am sharing here is my experience of seeing this closely. While watching this I was feeling that how intelligent the maharajas use to be in there eras. A recommended place for all those who will visit Delhi for sure.

    Jantar Mantar is located in the modern city of New Delhi. "Jantar Mantar" means "instruments for measuring the harmony of the heavens" It consists of 13 architectural astronomy instruments. The site is one of five built by Maharaja Jai Singh II of Jaipur, from 1723 onwards, revising the calendar and astronomical tables. Jai Singh, born in 1688 into a royal Rajput family that ruled the regional kingdom, was born into an era of education that maintained a keen interest in astronomy. There is a plaque fixed on one of the structures in the Jantar Mantar observatory in New Delhi that was placed there in 1910 mistakenly dating the construction of the complex to the year 1710. Later research, though, suggests 1724 as the actual year of construction. Its height is 723 feet (220 m). The primary purpose of the observatory was to compile astronomical tables, and to predict the times and movements of the sun, moon and planets. Some of these purposes nowadays would be classified as astronomy. Completed in 1724, the Delhi Jantar Mantar had decayed considerably by 1857 uprising. The Ram Yantra, the Samrat Yantra, the Jai Prakash Yantra and the Misra Yantra are the distinct instruments of Jantar Mantar. The most famous of these structures, the Jaipur, had also deteriorated by the end of the nineteenth century until in 1901 Maharaja Ram Singh set out to restore the instrument. But sadly today the observatory is just a park with 20 rupees as an entry fee for indian national and all the important marking, critical for observation have been wiped off, also the informaiton placks don't give out much details of the usage, also many of important parts of the observatory have been closed especially the underground observatory.

    Though not as big as one in Jaipur, it's good place tovisit in heart of city. Campus is neatly maintained and you need to pay for entry tickets. Nearby you have street cloth market.

    A huge place. I would suggest visiting it in the wee hours of the morning when there's no crowd. You can just walk around for a while, and spend some quality time.

    Jantar Mantar is a collection of 13 architectural astronomy instruments built in the 18th century by Maharaja Jai Singh II of Jaipur. Visitors often appreciate its historical significance and architectural marvel. It offers insights into ancient astronomical techniques and serves as a window into India's scientific heritage. However, some might find it lacking in modern amenities or interactive displays compared to contemporary museums. Overall, it's a fascinating site for those interested in history, astronomy, and ancient Indian science.🪽👣

    A masterpiece of architecture. Another proof of great technology and art of ancient and medieval engineers were way better than today's. Good to visit once, watchful wonder.

    It's a good place to visit in Delhi. But now-a-days they don't allow us to enter the Yantra and haven't seen any guide. Recommend to visit the place and enjoy the ambience
