Jantar
Mantar:-
The Yantra Mandir (commonly known as the
Jantar Mantar) is an equinoctial dial, consisting
a gigantic triangular gnomon with the hypotenuse
parallel to the Earth's axis. On either
side of the gnomon is a quadrant of a circle,
parallel to the plane of the equator. The
instrument is intended to measure the time
of day, correct to half a second, and declination
of the Sun and the other heavenly bodies.
Maharaja Jai Singh II of Jaipur constructed
four Yantra Mandirs in Delhi, Jaipur,
Ujjain and Varanasi.

| Hawa Mahal:-
Hawa Mahal, or the "Palace of Winds",
is a palace in Jaipur, India. It was built in
1799 by Maharaja Sawai Pratap Singh, and designed
by Lal Chand Usta. It forms part of the City Palace
and extends the Zenana or women's chambers, the
chambers of the harem. Its original intention
was to allow royal ladies to observe everyday
life in the street below without being seen.
It has five stories and is constructed of red
and pink sandstone, highlighted with white quick
lime. The side facing the street outside the palace
complex has 953 small windows, and the breeze
(hawa) which circulates through these windows
gives the palace its name, and keeps it cool even
in hot months.
The entrance opens onto a courtyard with a double-storied
building on three sides, and one on the eastern
wing with three more stories, which is just one
room wide. There are no stairs to reach the upper
floors, only ramps.
Jaivana Cannon :-
The Jaivana is a cannon cast in 1720. It is
now placed at Jaigarh Fort of Jaipur. Made
during the reign of Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh
II, it is considered to be the biggest cannon
in the world ever made. Now it is a decorative
piece only. It was never introduced in a battle.
Records say that it was fired once and its
shot went to "Chaksu" which is about
40 kilometers away from Jaipur. |
