Скачать или смотреть Magnificent Yantras : - Laghu Samrat Yantra

The Laghu Samrat Yantra is one of the fascinating astronomical instruments found at Jantar Mantar, the famous observatory built by Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh II in the early 18th century. Here's a detailed overview:

What is the Laghu Samrat Yantra?
Meaning of the Name: "Laghu Samrat Yantra" translates to "Small Supreme Instrument" in Sanskrit. It is a smaller version of the larger Samrat Yantra (a giant sundial).
Purpose: The instrument was designed to measure time and the altitude of celestial bodies with remarkable precision.
Structure and Design
Sundial Principle: The Laghu Samrat Yantra functions as a sundial, where a triangular gnomon (a raised structure) casts a shadow on a calibrated scale.
Materials: Typically made of stone and masonry, it features a carefully engraved scale for accurate time measurement.
Scale Precision: The readings can be accurate to a few seconds of local time, depending on the scale's craftsmanship.
Uses
Time Measurement: It was used to determine local time by observing the shadow cast by the gnomon.
Astronomical Calculations: It aided in determining the declination of the sun and other celestial objects.
Educational Tool: Demonstrated principles of astronomy and celestial mechanics.
Comparison with Samrat Yantra
The Laghu Samrat Yantra is a scaled-down version of the Samrat Yantra, which is one of the largest sundials in the world.
While the Samrat Yantra could measure time with a precision of about 2 seconds, the Laghu version offers less precision of 20 seconds due to its smaller size.
