Monument
Gyarah Sidhi
Gyarah Sidhi in Agra, Uttar Pradesh, is an architectural remnant of an astronomical observatory built by the Mughal Emperor Humayun. The name "Gyarah Sidhi" translates to "Eleven Steps," referring to the structure's unique design, which includes steps overlooking hemispherical cavities used for astronomical readings.
Located near Mehtab Bagh on the banks of the Yamuna River, the site is considered a precursor to the larger Jantar Mantars in Jaipur and Delhi, which were constructed nearly two centuries later. Humayun had a deep fascination with astrology and astronomy, and his court affairs were often influenced by planetary movements.
The observatory reflects his passion for celestial studies, though it is much smaller in scale compared to later Mughal-era observatories.
