What travellers are saying
- Sandy DMumbai, India989 contributionsEnjoyed shopping here. Though not as big as Lajpat Nagar or Sarojini markets - the items were fashionable and trendy. Good scope for bargaining too.Written 17 March 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Madhulika LNoida, India6,422 contributionsIn the decade between 1724 and 1734, Sawai Raja Jai Singh of Amber (in Rajasthan) built a series of huge observatories across the North Indian plains. A keen astronomer, Jai Singh had studied astronomy from the point of view of Islamic, Hindu and European methods, and his construction of these observatories (all of them called ‘Jantar Mantar’, a corruption of ‘yantra-mantra’, referring to instruments and formulae) was another step in celebrating his passion for astronomy.
Jai Singh built his Jantar Mantar observatories in Jaipur, Ujjain, Varanasi, Delhi and Mathura; the first of these was this one, built in Delhi. It consists of several huge astronomical instruments, in the form of a large masonry structures placed around a park. From the main gate, the first is the Misra Yantra (‘composite instruments’, several instruments in one), a heart-shaped structure which was the emblem of the 1982 Asian Games; the Samrat Yantra (an equinoctial dial, a soaring staircase with two arcs rising on either side of it); the Ram Yantra (shaped rather like the Coliseum in Rome, and used to measure the altitude of the stars); and the Jaiprakash Yantra (a bowl-shaped structure that shows the sun’s position at the time of the spring and autumn equinoxes).
While the structures are well-maintained, given that this is actually a highly specialized technological site, better explanations are needed than the fairly basic text on the plaques beside each instrument. These, right now, have the sort of explanations that would not make much sense to the average lay person.
Still, an interesting place to visit, and the structures are very impressive.
Children below 15 can enter Jantar Mantar free. Adults pay Rs 25 (if Indian) or Rs 200 (if foreign).Written 1 April 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Still worth going to see though as it isn't far from India Gate.Written 13 February 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- RAJENDRA884 PRASADFaridabad, India3,466 contributionsVisiting this iconic building takes one back into British history in India. This place was constructed to house visiting dignitaries from other parts of India or overseas. This is now reserved for Members of Parliament or people recommended by them.Written 9 February 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Madhulika LNoida, India6,422 contributionsOne of the Delhi Metro’s important stations (also one of its earliest stations to be opened) is the one at Patel Chowk. Here, above the platforms but within the station’s premises, is the Metro Museum, a small two-gallery museum that focuses on the work of the Delhi Metro.
The museum includes a set of models of different trains used by the Metro; it also has a model (along with a detailed description of how it works) of a tunnel-boring machine, as well as a cross-section of a machine. There are full-size mannequins sporting the different uniforms worn by DMRC’s workers, a tool kit used for maintenance, and the different types of helmets worn. There is a history of the DMRC and the phases in which work has been carried out to take the NCR’s Metro network to where it is now.
For me, one of the most interesting bits about the museum was a section on ‘interesting facts about the Delhi Metro’: how many escalators across the network (1,000), the deepest station (Hauz Khas, 30 mt), the highest point (Dhaula Kuan, as tall as a 7-storey building), tallest escalator in India (Janakpuri West), how many times the Metro’s train doors open and close in a day (25 lakh), and so on. This was really fascinating and impressive.
There’s no entrance fee for the Museum, which is basically just a series of exhibits on either side of the passage leading to the exit gates. However, since it is within the area between the exit gates and the platforms, you do need to have a smart card or token in order to view it.Written 30 November 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- MananAggarwal96New Delhi, India127 contributionsLocated in the heart of the city Big Odean now known as Carnival Cinemas is at a walking distance from Rajiv Chowk metro station.One can find a parking spot in the NDMC Authorised parking outside the theatre easily.
The unique thing about this theatre is that it offers SOFA SEATS.
These seats are probably more than double the size of the normal seats which adds to the overall experience of the viewer.
The picture and sound quality is really good.
The place is clean and well maintained.
They have small waiting areas outside the auditoriums.
The price of the tickets are slightly on the higher side.
Overall experience was 4/5.Written 12 August 2018This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
