The observatory is one of the five observatories built by Maharaja Jai Singh II when he was governer of Ujjain.〔 (Comprehensive report on history and instrument design at Jantar Mantar )〕 〔 (Articles on Jantar Mantar )〕〔 (Jantar Mantar - The Astronomical Observatories of Jai Singh II )〕
Bed Shala was constructed with an aim of measuring local time, altitude (of the place) and also to measure declination of Sun, stars and planets and to determine eclipses. Motion, speed and properties of stars and planets were also recorded using several special instruments.
Jai Singh II was also an astronomer and had deep interest in science and astronomy. In early 18th century, he sent his scholars to several countries to study design, construction and technology of the observatories and also the prevalent technology. The scholars returned with their observations and many manuals on astronomy. Subsequently between 1724 and 1737, Jai Singh II had five observatories constructed in Jaipur, Mathura,New Delhi, Ujjain and in Varanasi.〔 ()〕〔 (Jantar Mantar Ujjain )〕〔 (Simhasth Ujjain )〕
