Jai Prakāś.—The Jai Prakāś is constructed in the same manner as the Delhi instrument (Plate XXI and figure 30). The principle of the instrument has already been explained (p. 37). It was completely restored in 1901, in white marble, and the various circles were then marked in different colours.¹ It is 17 feet 10 inches in diameter. The instrument shows time and declination, and the signs on the meridian.
