The Astronomical Observatories of Jai Singh c10.57

c10.57

To the west of the Samrāṭ Yantra is a small building (a chowkidar’s house) on which is fixed the Jaipur flag. There is a tree south-east of the eastern Jai Prakāś that partially overshadows that instrument. The tree should, of course, be removed. The whole observatory is enclosed by a mud wall about six feet high, with an entrance on the west side.
