Jantar Mantar. Astronomical instruments (yantras) at the Jantar Mantar observatory, Jaipur, India. These platforms were constructed in alignment with a particular planet or constellation.

It is one of five constructed by him in west central India and is one of the best preserved, having been restored in 1901.
