A Hypothetical Romakasiddhānta Calendar
(2019) In Journal of Astronomical History and Heritage 22(2). p.339-341- Abstract
- The Romakasiddhānta is a quite special Hindu luni-solar canon being the only one using Metonic intercalation and implementing a tropical solar year. As the name suggests it has a Hellenistic origin. The known facts about the canon are scanty but in spite of this it is possible to draw some conclusions from them. A hypothetical calendar based on its known characteristics is investigated below
