“The Observatory”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 January 2009
1
person found this review helpful

We visited here in December 2005 about the same "time" as in December 2008. The sundial complex is amazing and should not be missed. Our guide explained the accuracy of the sundials and those of us wearing watches were astounded that indeed, they are!!! To see your Zodiac sign as a sundial, the hemispheres in darkness and the angle of the moon and more is a tribute to the scientists before and to the budding scientists today, a place of wonder.

“Incredible Instruments”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 April 2006
7
people found this review helpful

This is an incredible set of astronomical instruments. They are made out of stone and marble and at first sight appear like a giant set of art deco sculptures. On closer inspection (and with the help of a guide) you find they are a set of very accurate instruments. It is difficult to believe that a Sundial can measure to within 20 seconds! It is worth reading up on this site before you arrive in order to make the most of the visit.

The site is located at the entrance to the Jaipur City Palace and is well worth a visit.
