What emerges to be an unexpected sculpture garden in the central Delhi is none other than ‘Jantar Mantar’, the modern yet popular name of ‘Yantra Mantra’. It’s located in the heart of New Delhi and easily approachable from any corner of the city by bus, car or other local transport. It’s a magnificent structure that has amazed large number of visitors from all across the world due to its capacity to make accurate calculations of several astronomical movements. The observatory gives perfect insight of technological innovations of time and so it’s considered as an inherent part of scientific heritage in India. It’s a very good place for sightseeing without much hassle and noise, reflecting the observatory of 18th century.
Well, for me…it was a lovely atmospheric place with picturesque view. Also, it was a pleasant break from the religious sites during my holidays in Delhi. My day ended with lots of photography with friends as the place is best for photo shoots.
