Fascinating stuff-made me want to get my slide rule out!
A remarkable group of scientific instruments, on a somewhat larger scale than others of that period, anywhere in the world. The Jaipur group put the solitary example in Delhi in the shade. It’s just a trifle inauthentic in that some of the instruments were brought in from elsewhere. Just one correction it’s a World Heritage Site, not a W H Centre. I like the Anish Kapoor analogy – I just wish I liked his work!
