About Jantar Mantar
Triangles, arches and curved surfaces fill Jantar Mantar on a scale that seems excessive until someone explains what it's for. These are fixed instruments for astronomical observation, built to track the positions of the stars with the naked eye. Here, the wall isn't just casting a shadow.
Hire someone to explain how each shape was used. Without context, you photograph geometry; with it, you start to read the space. Bring sun protection and stay in the permitted areas around the instruments.
