This tower is the tallest structure in Jaipur, constructed by Maharaja Ishwari Singh in 1745 to commemorate a battle victory. Despite his heritage as the oldest son of the celebrated Maharaja Jai Singh, Ishwari Singh was ostracized for his love of a commoner, and he has the distinction of being the only Kachchawaha Maharaja not commemorated at Gaitor. This impressive tower dominates the skyline of Tripolia Bazaar and is a favorite tourist destination.

Jantar Mantar is the largest of Maharaja Jai Singh's five medieval observatories.

Seeing these historic artifacts first-hand is not an experience soon forgotten.
