Time center

In ancient times, Ujjain was called Avanti, its name has been recorded in old historical documents. It used to be an ancient center of research of science and mathematics. Mathematicians and astronomers like Bhaskaracharya, Brahmagupta and Varahamihira made Ujjain the center of their research. There were many reasons for choosing Ujjain for research. For example, this city used to be the center of the prime meridian. With the help of which Indian mathematicians used to calculate time. Standard time around the world is determined by this line. It is also known as Greenwich Line.

Here the Tropic of Cancer and the Meridian meet

The second reason for choosing Ujjain was the meeting of the Tropic of Cancer with the meridian. Therefore this city is considered suitable for astrological calculations. Mathematicians associated with astrology used to decide in Ujjain how the sun starts traveling south after the longest day of the year. Due to its spiritual and scientific outlook, Ujjain was also called the navel of the world. Hindus still have a tradition of seeing auspicious and inauspicious according to the lunar-solar calendar. Mathematicians and astrologers worked here for a long time to make that almanac. On its basis, fasts and festivals are celebrated in India.

The 'force of gravity' was discovered

Bhaskaracharya, the author of mathematical scriptures like Beej Math and Lilavati, was the guide of the observatory at Ujjain. He discovered the 'gravitational force' in the earth in Ujjain itself. In the 12th century, while living in Ujjain, the great mathematician Bhaskaracharya did the work of writing the unique book of astrology, Siddhant Shiromani. Ujjain has been the center of Indian period calculation since ancient times. Astronomers and mathematicians recognized this quality of it. This is the reason why Ujjain is included in the four places that have been selected for the religious event Simhastha.
