Jantar Mantar in Jaipur is an observatory, created for the purpose of studying the universe in 1734 AD. A collection of multiple astronomical instruments, Jantar Mantar, is a testament to not only the scientific prowess of the Rajputs, but also provides a glimpse of the hunger of knowledge our ancestors had.
Also known as the pink city, Jaipur the capital of Rajasthan is a beautiful place to spend a weekend. The uniformly colored pink buildings are a breathtaking sight to experience while the magnificent palaces and forts add the much needed touch of royalty.
Flush with historic monuments and ruins, the small town of Murshidabad, is a treat for any history buff. The colonial era structures that dot the town, offers a different and unique experience as such architecture is not seen anywhere else in India.
