The Dighamsh Yantra, also known as the Azimuth Instrument, is a traditional astronomical tool used in ancient India for celestial observations. It is part of the suite of instruments found at observatories like the Jantar Mantar, which were established by the Rajput king Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh II in the 18th century. The Dighamsh Yantra played a significant role in determining the azimuth (direction) of celestial bodies.

Features of the Dighamsh Yantra
Structure:

It typically consists of a circular base with graduated markings that represent degrees of a circle.
A central pointer or gnomon is used to align with celestial objects.
Purpose:

Measures the azimuth of the Sun or a star, i.e., the angle between the object and the north-south line on the observer's horizon.
Helps calculate time and position for celestial navigation or astrological purposes.
Operation:

The observer aligns the instrument with the horizon.
Using sighting devices or a calibrated pointer, they determine the angle of the celestial object relative to the cardinal directions.
Material:

Often built using stone or metal for durability and precision in calibration.
Usage in Observatories
The Dighamsh Yantra is found in observatories like Jantar Mantar in Jaipur, Delhi, and other locations.
It was part of Jai Singh's efforts to improve astronomical observations and calculations using tools inspired by Persian, European, and Indian techniques.
Historical Context
The instrument exemplifies the advanced astronomical knowledge in medieval India.
It was used alongside other instruments like the Samrat Yantra (sundial) and Jai Prakash Yantra (hemispherical sundial).
