Dear Science and astronomy friends Rathna shree and all,
Sub: Q&A What should we do to preserve Our astronomical Archaeological
treasures?(VEDHshala & SUNtemples)

I surprised question raised, (typical nagging- poor conceptions,) I am principle
visitor of such places since '70, and for that I visit Delhi and Jaipur, and
that is why I wrote so many times to revitalise those places, and also
criticised to all other activity but work at JANTAR MANTAR, SO as I am running a
motion for that too and SUN TEMPLES as well with Ministers and Science media
reporters in Delhi and India, as more facility is @ JAIPUR - I also expalined
the "GOLDEN DAYS OF JAIPUR" I been using those place (VITM -Bangalore , JAIPUR
and Delhi) since 1970 with our schools and teacher staffs. that is why I also
given the accuracy of those places, But I surprise the reading just gone without
understanding,

How will you PRAISE - If some one goes in with SHOES on, in a Sea beach ancient
archaeological place - SHIVA temple at MAHABALIPURAM, if it is with out keeper
or without PUJARI? I do dare to say wrong as a wrong,

I showed you who was standing at correct position to see the measurement and I
Hope I do not need to show that who was not standing correctly in your
experimented photographic proofs. if you wish I will upload with marking
incorrect positions too.

AS a common sense too if you wish to use that place gently - mentally - one
should try to do at ground based floor and so as to preserve markings al ready
been poor by previous such occasions. and many Sun temples been destroyed by
intruders and vandalised after Muslim aggressions,

Also no one bothered to get a good advice from available facility @ JAIPUR guide
teams. do you think I am wasting my time?

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/VenusTransit/message/534 (that ancient observatory
place can measure 1/6 of the second in
time and that is equal to 0' 2.5" size of the angle of the sky observation
accuracy. And that all works local timing and longitude - latitude of the place.
Only the persons required to work for it.

We should utilize that place with aided observation with Venus transit of 8 June
2004. TEAM A - working with Local observatory guides and Team B working with
OPTICAL aids at the same place to complementary work. That is the best place for
us to utilize the observation at that place and that is relay a Golden
opportunity for Jaipur and users too.



((Delhi and Jaipur observatory – Vedh Shala are constructed such a way that it
can work locally @ that Longitude Latitude and also at a LOCAL time of that
place. So we do not need to find the place location of Longitude-Latitude while
working there nor the local time of that working place (Auto Sun Dial activity)
– nor we need toys like GPS nor sophisticated instruments. Not only that but
many of such astronomical activities – One like coming VENUS TRANSIT on 8 June
2004 also needs to be observed and activity to be worked in same environment
such as Local time and longitude Latitude, so many of planetarium places and
activity are just nothing in comparisons to such VITAL places as others has to
use their toys of GPS and telescopic compass and Leveling like a Theodolites).
So if we use this place on the day 8 June2004 for a Tenus Transit time activity
then instead of So called planetariums – as Venus transit is the phenomenon of
the place of JANTAR MANTAR and not Planeterium activity. – people will realize
the importance of such a place who even Astronomy lovers and planetarium
authority - who forgot that place and its importance.))
