We've posted about
Jantar Mantar
last year but this article comes with some fascinating photos. The
Jantar Mantar is located in the modern city of New Delhi. It consists of
13 architectural astronomy instruments. There's a mystical feel to its
18th-century architecture, resplendent in shades of yellow and orange.
To those unaware of its purpose, the strange angled and curved structure
might be conceived of as an ancient temple full of religious symbolism.
Yet while it was constructed with the heavens in mind, the inspirations
were the Sun, Moon and stars rather than any mythological or spiritual
beings.
