Jantar Mantar

Bring an instrument guide

A diagram or knowledgeable guide turns the masonry forms into understandable astronomical devices.

Choose a sunny, moderate hour

Visible shadows help explain the instruments, but harsh summer midday heat makes the open site uncomfortable.

Allow one focused hour

The complex is compact; depth of interpretation matters more than extending the visit.

Turn shadows into an experiment

Ask children to predict where a shadow will move, then compare after exploring another instrument.

Understand the modern skyline

Surrounding buildings prevent some original observations, but the scientific design remains legible.

Walk from Connaught Place

Pair it with Agrasen ki Baoli or central galleries rather than arranging a separate car journey.
