Скачать или смотреть Magnificent Yantras : - Brihat Samrat Yantra

The *Brihat Samrat Yantra* is the largest and most iconic instrument at Jantar Mantar, constructed by Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh II in the 18th century. This monumental sundial, often called the "Great King of Instruments," is a masterpiece of astronomical engineering. It serves as a highly precise tool for measuring time, tracking celestial objects, and determining declination and other astronomical parameters.

Key Features:
1. **Structure and Dimensions**:
The Brihat Samrat Yantra is a massive triangular gnomon (a structure casting a shadow) standing *27 meters (90 feet)* tall.
Two large quadrants flank the gnomon on either side. These are marked with scales for time measurement, accurate to **2 seconds**.
The gnomon is inclined at an angle equal to the latitude of Jaipur (~27 degrees), ensuring optimal alignment with the celestial equator.

2. **Functionality**:
**Time Measurement**: The shadow of the gnomon moves along the quadrants, allowing the measurement of local solar time with exceptional accuracy.
**Celestial Tracking**: It helps determine the declination of celestial bodies (angular distance north or south of the celestial equator).
**Alignment of Instruments**: The Brihat Samrat Yantra was also used to align and calibrate other instruments at Jantar Mantar.

3. **Engineering Precision**:
The scale on the quadrants is finely marked for detailed readings, with adjustments made to account for the equation of time (the difference between solar time and mean time).
Its sheer size reduces errors caused by imperfections in smaller instruments.

4. **Cultural and Scientific Significance**:
The Brihat Samrat Yantra reflects the advanced astronomical knowledge of 18th-century India and Sawai Jai Singh’s ambition to create a precise observatory.
It is not only a scientific tool but also a testament to the synthesis of astronomy, architecture, and engineering.

5. **Present-Day Importance**:
The instrument remains functional and continues to attract scientists, historians, and tourists.
It is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, symbolizing India's rich scientific heritage.

The Brihat Samrat Yantra stands as a monumental representation of India's astronomical and engineering achievements, showcasing the brilliance of ancient Indian science.
