History & traditions
Man Singh’s riverside palace and Jai Singh II’s later astronomical instruments belong to different phases of the building. The rooftop instruments measure time and celestial positions with fixed stone surfaces. Start with the large sundial, then compare it with the instruments used for other observations.
What to see
Look for the large Samrat Yantra sundial and other instruments on the palace terrace.
