Ujjain is also called the Greenwich of India, and astronomy has a lot of significance here. The Vedhshala Observatory was built in about 1730 by Maharaja Jai Singh of Jaipur, and was used by scholars to study astronomy. This is one of the oldest astronomical observatories still in use in India. The observatory still houses a lot of instruments and a sun-dial.
