When you come to Jaipur one the must-do thing is to visit Jantar Mantar. It’s an old astronomical site and there are only a few like this in India. It’s important to come here and appreciate our history of science as well. Jantar Mantar is made of two words. The first word ‘Jantar’ means an instrument and is derived from Sanskrit, ‘Mantar’ means to calculate. Earlier I used to think that Jantar Mantar had something to do with magic, but that’s not at all the case. This is a very scientific place. There are many scientific calculations done here related to astronomy. Measuring time of the day is the most straightforward of them all. This was used to calculate planetary positions, seasons and lots of other things. This place also shows the level of advancement of science back in the days.
