Jantar Mantar, New Delhi

Jantar Mantar, New Delhi Jantar Mantar at Delhi was built by Maharaja Jai Singh of Jaipur as an observatory.  The primary purpose of the observatory was to compile astronomical tables, and to predict the times and movements of the sun, moon and planets. In recent times, Jantar Mantar has a new pehchaan, emerging as the most sought after destination for anti-establishment protests….is there something in its architecture that makes it the preferred destination for all such protests ? Not very long ago, it was the Ramlila maidan that was the preferred destination of all protesters. So what has changed ?
