Having previously seen the Jantat Mantir in Dehli on a previous visit to India I was indifferent to the proposed visit .IT was brilliant ,an amazing place to visit .Even though It was very hot we did the full tour and I would say it is a must see

Honesty is boring. Here is the old observatory that has been used many are lined up. For those who are not interested in astronomy is not just appear as just a little fashionable ruins :( :(:(:(:((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((

If you are in Jaipur I would give this place a look but dont go especially for it. Its nice enough for 1/2 an hour but no more.

I am not really into astronomy so it didn't really enthrall me as much as it did my friend. I just sort of went along so probably the problem was me.
