| Samrat Yantra, located in Jaipur, India, is a monumental sundial part of the Jantar Mantar astronomical observatory. The structure features a towering triangular gnomon with a hypotenuse parallel to the Earth's axis, casting a precise shadow on the curved quadrants below. These quadrants are angular scales calibrated for local time and astronomical observations. The structure is made of stone and masonry, painted in light yellow and white. Surrounding it are manicured lawns and historical buildings, set against a clear blue sky. |
