齊浦爾的天文台,叫「姜塔曼塔」( Jantar-Mantar ),意思是「觀測儀」 


齋浦爾天文台──疆塔爾曼塔」( Jantar-Mantar ),堪稱是全世界最大的石製天文台,位於風之宮殿後面,是拉賈•沙瓦•傑•辛格(Raja Sawai Jai Sigh )王公建於1728-1734年,他因為非常熱衷於天文學,在興建天文台之前,特別將天文學家送到法國和葡萄牙等歐洲國家,學習天文台知識。他在任期內於印度各地興建了天文台,包括齋浦爾、德里、瓦拉納西、烏加因(Ujjain)、馬圖拉(Mathura),其中以齋浦爾天文台的觀測儀種類最多,也是保存最完整的。


齋浦爾天文台於1901年整修過,目前16種造型精巧有趣天文台觀測儀,現在還是十分準確,例如:


l     The Lughu Samrat Yantra 是小型的太陽刻度盤;


l     The Dhruv vaid Patike 是測量星座的儀器;


l     The Krantivritta Yantra 是測量日月蝕的儀器;


l     The Vrihad Samrat Yantra 是測量太陽刻度盤;


l     The Rasivalaya Samrat Yantra 是黃道帶(十二宮圖)。

 The Jantar Mantar, Jaipur

The Jantar Mantar, in Jaipur, is an astronomical observation site built in the early 18th century. It includes a set of some 20 main fixed instruments. They are monumental examples in masonry of known instruments but which in many cases have specific characteristics of their own. Designed for the observation of astronomical positions with the naked eye, they embody several architectural and instrumental innovations. This is the most significant, most comprehensive, and the best preserved of India's historic observatories. It is an expression of the astronomical skills and cosmological concepts of the court of a scholarly prince at the end of the Mughal period.

雨後遊覽,倍感清涼。就在此時,香港朋友致電給我,我表示身在印度,她很識做,在掛線前說回港見。
