The Janta Manta Observatory in Jaipur, India, is the most important, comprehensive, and well preserved ancient observatory in India and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It is composed of 19 astronomical instruments with fixed installations as the main body. These astronomical instruments are immortal works of ancient observation devices known and have their own characteristics in many ways. The Samurai dice in the observatory is the world's largest stone dice. The word Janta Manta comes from Sanskrit. Literally means "computer of calculation." The Janta Manta Observatory was built during the reign of Savaj Jay Singh II and completed in 1738. It demonstrated the Indians' cosmos and ability to explore astronomy in the late Mughal era. The observatory is a masonry structure, while astronomical instruments are made of masonry and bronze. The observatory is a typical representation of Ptolemy-style positioning astronomy.

    The ancient Indian intelligent crystallization Jaipur Observatory, the observatory is scattered with 14 major astronomical objects, including the world's largest sundials, each of which has a special purpose. The twelve triangular buildings in the courtyard represent twelve constellations, each of which is very accurate in its angle and direction towards their respective constellations.

    The Jaipur Observatory consists of 14 geometric instruments used to measure time, predict eclipses, track stars in orbit, measure planet deflection, determine the height of the celestial body and related data. Each instrument is a fixed focus tool. Samrat Jantar is the largest measuring instrument, it is up to 90 feet, and its shadow is carefully marked to show time.

    The Jantar Mantar Observatory in Jaipur is amazing not for its high-end precision astronomical instruments, but for its various strange stone sculptures, including 19 architectural astronomers - sundials, constellations, etc., of which the "Stone Sundial" is the largest sundial in the world. Using astronomical celestial coordinates, the horizon-zenith local system, the equatorial system and the ecliptic system, these instruments can observe astronomical data with the naked eye. Every instrument in the Observatory has its own unique uses, such as measuring the position, altitude and azimuth of stars, and calculating solar eclipses. All kinds of observation instruments can still be used by astronomers. The construction of the Observatory shows the amazing wisdom of ancient India. This makes the Observatory very famous as a world cultural heritage.

    There are many buildings in the Jan Tamanta Observatory, each of which is a huge instrument. Sundial, constellation, meridian, ecliptic and celestial theodolite, each of which has its own unique use, can measure the position, altitude and azimuth of stars, correct the calendar, and predict lunar and solar eclipses.

    The wisdom and talent of the ancient Indians are amazing. Here time and space have been validated most effectively. As if the laws of history and nature, everything is in an accurate statistical scale, so that we can see the brilliant chapter of ancient science in a few hundred years.
