Jantar mantar beside Ganga - Benaras




 'View of the Ganga from the walls of the Jantar Mantar. This astronomical observatory constructed in the 18th century by Maharaja Jai Singh is full of instruments to measure and trace the movements of heavenly bodies. It is indeed heavenly to sit quietly beside these beautifully constructions with the eternal Ganga flowing quietly below.



The beautiful entrance to the observatory with the steps leading to the famous Dashashwamedh Ghat.
