<p><strong>Jantar Mantar</strong> is located in
the modern city of New Delhi. It consists of 13 architectural <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Astronomy">astronomy</a>
instruments. The site is one of five built by <b class="person">Maharaja Jai Singh II</b> of
Jaipur, from <time>1723</time> onwards, as he was given by<b class="person"> Mughal emperor Muhammad Shah</b>
the task of revising the calendar and astronomical tables. There is a plaque
fixed on one of the structures in the Jantar Mantar observatory in New Delhi
that was placed there in <time>1910</time> mistakenly dating the construction of the complex
to the year <time>1710.</time> Later research, though, suggests 1724 as the actual year of construction.
</p>
<p>The primary purpose of the
observatory was to compile astronomical tables, and to predict the times and
movements of the sun, moon and planets. Some of these purposes nowadays would
be classified as astronomy.
</p>
<p>Completed in <time>1724</time>, the Delhi
Jantar Mantar had decayed considerably by 1867.The Ram yantra, The samrat Yantra,
Jayprakash yantra and The mishra yantras are the distinct instruments of Jantar Mantar.
