This is a sun dial or a sun clock. When placed correctly, the shadow cast by the sun shows the time on this circular dial that has markings on it. I saw it in a quaint little resort at the foothills a couple of months ago. We have learnt about this in science classes at school in my childhood days. It felt wonderful seeing a real one!!

It was the basis of time during ancient times until clocks and watches were made... 😊
