It is an intelligently built observatory that aims to measure time, forecast eclipses, and track the orbit of the planets, study stars and other celestial bodies. The observatory was originally built as a religious guide since in Hindu culture ‘Jyotis’ or the astronomers are very significant in chalking out the lives and their schedules of the followers.
