HISTORICAL TRIP TO JANTAR MATAR AND QUTUB MINAR

HELLO EVERYONE!


           

 I have been to two places recently, was is Jantar Mantar and the other is Qutub Minar.
               Qutub Minar is the second tallest minar built in India . This minar was named after
Qutb-ud -din-Aibak This minar which stands firmly right now  was damaged by lightening three times !  But with the help of  Iltutmish  ,Qutub Minars  3rd and 4 th storeys were reconstructed.
             So all the history lovers if u didn't see it  then HURRY UP! coz u don't  want to  miss this one .

JANTAR MANTAR

Jantar Mantar was constructed by Sawai Jai Singh , jantar means machine and mantar means measurement. In those days people did not have a watch , so they used  Jantar Matar  to keep an account of  the time. The guide who was explaining us just took a second and told us the exact time without looking at the watch !
