Geocache Description:

Jaipur's Jantar Mantar - 18th Century observatory

Small admission fee.

Built by Jai Singh II between 1728 and 1734. An astonding collection of sundails, star and planets markers and stone sculptures in one small area. The most amazing is probably the Samrat Yantra, a gigantic sundial - 23m (75ft) high.

Look for the zodias markers, the Samrat Yantra and then a tree with pebbles at its base.

Caches in India have a HARD time and get muggled frequently. If you would like to log this as a find I will accept a photo of the location until a replacement cache is once again in situ.

Small note on cache maintenance: There is a local "cache guardian". Name and contact info on file with geocaching.com.
