I've visited the Jantar Mantar, a garden of astronomical instruments/buildings built in the 18th century. The Maharaja built 5 similar complexes around the country. Today only this one and the one in Jaipur remains. The Delhi version is no longer operational, because the markings have eroded, and the wires and wooden rods used by some of the instruments are missing. See more below. Posted by Picasa
