The Astronomical Observatories of Jai Singh c9.s1.36

c9.s1.36

The Rām Yantra is only original with respect to its size and the duplication of the instrument. The meridian lines of other places on the Miśra Yantra at Delhi was not a new idea. It had, at any rate, been worked out for vertical gnomons. The Rāśi Valaya seems to be entirely original, but it is of doubtful utility as an instrument for observation.
