Jantar Mantar is an early-18th-century observatory of giant masonry astronomical instruments built by Maharaja Jai Singh II, including a towering sundial, in the middle of central Delhi near Connaught Place. It is a quick, quirky stop that rewards a little context about how the instruments track the sun and stars. There is not much signage, so a guide or reading up beforehand helps.
