The site features notable instruments like the Niyat Chakra Yantra for tracking zodiac signs, the Dakshin Bhitti Yantra designed for southern hemisphere observations, and the Karka Rasivalaya Yantra that measures Cancer's declination. Visitors can also enjoy a Viewing Platform offering panoramic views of these instruments.
