Palace On Wheels

Jaipur - Observatory built by Sawai Man Singh and Rambaugh Palace Hotel where we lunched on watermelon juice, curry, nan and ice cream.

This marble calendar is only half the picture. The "jaiprakash yantra" is in the form of two hemispherical bowls representing the celestial spheres and the use of a vertical rod in the center gives different positions of celestial bodies during the day and night, the gradations are etched on the marble lining. Where this one has space the other has marble and where this one has marble the other has space.

Giant Killer (and I mean three days of hobbling around like Dick Van Dyke in the clown scene from "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang") stairs to the top of this enormous time piece.
