Jantar Mantar appears to be just a curious collection of sculptures but in fact each construction has a specific purpose, such as measuring the positions of stars, altitudes and azimuths and calculating eclipses also visit Hawa Mahal, which was constructed in 1799, the Hawa Mahal of the Palace of Winds, is one of Jaipur's major landmarks, although it is actually little more than a fa'ade.
