🛕 Vedh Shala Ujjain: The Ancient Observatory of India

🌟 The Story of Vedh Shala

Long before modern clocks and telescopes, India was already studying stars and time! 🌟
Vedh Shala, also called Jantar Mantar of Ujjain, was built by Maharaja Jai Singh in 1725 AD.

It is one of the five ancient observatories of India, others being in Delhi, Jaipur, Mathura, and Varanasi.

Ujjain was chosen because it is located exactly on the Tropic of Cancer and was considered India’s “Prime Meridian” — like Greenwich in London! 🕰️

Here you can see ancient astronomical instruments that measured time, planets, seasons, and weather without any machine — just by sun and shadows!

📍 What to See at Vedh Shala

Samrat Yantra: Big sundial used for telling accurate time.
Nadi Valaya Yantra: Measures the position of stars.
Digansha Yantra: Used to find the direction.
Other Instruments: Different stone structures for tracking Sun, Moon, and planets.

It’s mind-blowing how accurate our ancestors were, without any technology!
