[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This is the one of the most famous (and still working) Sun Dial built hundreds of years ago by the Kings of Jaipur. There is one more sun dial on right side of this structure, which is world's largest sundial. This one got an accuracy of 1 minute.

I am attaching the time shown by this sundial as workshop. Though there is 3 minutes difference in the time shown by the sundial and the camera's time, I am sure, camera's time is wrong :)

Hope you like it.

Hello Kiran,
Attractive lines and well defined colours!
Impressive size of this sundial, the stairs are tempting but I notice the restriction, hehehe...
A well composed presentation, inclusion of the people gives good scaling!
Greetings,

Hi KVRN

A marvellous blue sky with good colour contrasts again the red & orange walls. Excellent sharpness & light contrast. Tfs!

good job.
GOD BLESS.

Hi Kiran

A great place - I was there last year. It's a shame you can't walk up the steps now - is India becomming all 'Health & Safty'? Nice blue sky - pehaps the rest a little over sharpened.

All the best, les

Hello Kiran:)
Thank you that you bring this object to our attention. Very unusual and perfect sundial.
Just for notice: your camera sensor need to be clean, there is some spot at left upper corner.

I have been here and know how difficult it is to get a good photo of the sundial. I climbed up to a high spot and looked down on it. I think this view is hard for the viewers to appreciate the piece of science and art in one. TFS. K2

Hello Kiran,

the lines and shapes are great and the blue sky enhances the beauty in a very impressive way.
Brilliant colour s and light management.
Shadows are well exploited.
