I was told that on very clear, fine days, a distant chain of mountains was perceivable-- the day was fine and clear, but I could not see the mountains.
The observatory is a very remarkable and artistic building.

It was built by Dscheising, under the intelligent Emperor Akbar, more than two centuries since.

There are no ordinary telescopes to be found there: all the instruments are constructed of massive blocks of stone.

Upon a raised terrace, to which stone steps lead, stand circular tables, semicircular and quadratic curves, etc.

which are covered with signs, writing, and lines.
