than his powers as a warrior.Before commencing
construction, he sent scholars abroad to study foreign observatorys. The Jaipur
observatory is the largest and the best preserved of the five he built. Jantar Mantar appears to be
just a curious collection of sculptures but, Infact,
each construction has specific purpose, such as a measuring the positions of
stars, altitudes and azimuths, or calculating eclipses. Amber

Rajput architecture, stunningly situated on a
