Artist's Comments
Location: Jaipur, India
Jantar Mantar is the biggest and best preserved of the five observatories built by Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh II, a keen astronomer. The other observatories are located in Delhi, Ujjain, Mathura and Varanasi. Jai Singh was inspired by Mirza Ulugh Beg, the king of Samarkand, who was also an astronomer. The Jantar Mantar was built between 1728-1734. Jantar Mantar resembles a giant sculptural park and has been described as "the most realistic and logical landscape in stone". Even today, the instruments at Jantar Mantar are still capable to be used to forecast how hot the summer months will be, the expected date of arrival, duration and intensity of the monsoon, the possibility of floods and famine. These are all forecasts that are of interest to any rulers, hence the interest of the maharaja in astronomy. ~We leave for India soon!!
