Jantar Mantar is the name of an astronomical observatory located in Jaipur. The instruments built in the early 1700's were capable of observing the stars and heavenly bodies with the naked eye. The complex features the world's largest stone sundial and many other instruments whose uses were not exactly clear to me. Clearly an astronomy class is in order. Fortunately, I believe the high school added one within the last few years.
