60. Restorations.—Of previous restorations we know very little. Sherring states that the Brahmans "were utterly careless" about preserving the instruments. According to Havell, the Mānmandira was restored in the middle of the nineteenth century. In 1912 the present Mahārāja of Jaipur ordered the complete restoration of the instruments. This work was very thoroughly done under the direction of the court astronomer, Paṇḍit Gokal Chand.
