Your expert’s note

The Samrat Yantra reads Jaipur local solar time, not Indian Standard Time, so the sundial will disagree with your phone; the on-site plaques explain the correction. The compound is open, paved and almost entirely unshaded, so it is punishing between roughly 11:00 and 16:00 in summer.
