Answer:
The answer for the question Ujjain. The name of the astronomical unit is Jantar Mantar.
Maharaja Jai Singh II was the Rajput ruler of the kingdom of Amber in the early 18th century. He was insanely fond of mathematics, architecture and astronomy. So he built five astronomical units in North India and named them Jantar Mantar.
He built five Jantar Mantars in New Delhi, Ujjain, Jaipur, Mathura and Varanasi.
