Jantar Mantar Tall Vase

In the celestial chronicles of India, astral observatories emerged as open-air sanctuaries, temples for the passage of time, and dance of the stars. The profound legacy of these Jantar Mantars, meaning instruments that measure the ‘harmony of the heavens’, in New Delhi, Jaipur, and Varanasi, lies in their ingenious design—where small tools metamorphose into life-sized marvels crafted from marble and stone through an interplay of geometric forms. Here, cast pieces or brass sheets, moulded with reverence, transform to echo the celestial instruments that orchestrate a profound dialogue with the cosmos above.
