How Jantar Mantar evolved from an astronomical observatory into a symbol of protest
In a surprising shift, the Delhi Police has announced that Delhi's historic Jantar Mantar will no longer serve as a site for protests, as confirmed by the Police Commissioner on October 11, 2026. Instead, alternative venues such as Ramlila Ground, Burari Ground, and CBD Ground have been proposed. Despite this change, Jantar Mantar remains a treasured tourist destination, maintaining its legacy as a key marker of India's rich astronomical history.
