Ujjain- ancient prime meridian of India

from Incredible India Travel | Social Impact & Culture Tours · host 5 Senses Tours | Cultural Experiences & Social Impact Guides

In this episode hosts Tim and Debbie discover the ancient city of Ujjain, which used to be the Prime Meridian of India and the central point for the calculation of Indian time. They discuss about why the city was considered due to its central role in astronomical calculations and its cultural significance. They also refer the Surya Siddhanta, an ancient Sanskrit treatise composed between the 4th and 8th centuries CE, which identified Ujjain as a reference point for calculating planetary positions and other astronomical phenomena, making it a central hub for Indian astronomy. The hosts also recommend a convenient way to experience this through a private guide tour organised by 5 Senses Tours.
