I've posted about Jantar Mantar last year but this article comes with some fascinating photos. The Jantar Mantar is located in the modern city of New Delhi. It consists of 13 architectural astronomy instruments. There's a mystical feel to its 18th-century architecture, resplendent in shades of yellow and orange.
To those unaware of its purpose, the strange angled and curved structure might be conceived of as an ancient temple full of religious symbolism. Yet while it was constructed with the heavens in mind, the inspirations were the Sun, Moon and stars rather than any mythological or spiritual beings.
