This groundbreaking work explores megalithic sites in Jharkhand, India, revealing their alignment with fundamental principles of mathematics and observational astronomy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"849\" data-end=\"1182\"\u003eDas uncovers the hidden purpose behind these megalithic sites, suggesting that they were carefully designed as temples and sophisticated calendars for the community. Used to determine the dates for fertility rites, these megaliths stand as evidence of the early astronomer-priests’ understanding of the cosmos and the natural world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1184\" data-end=\"1624\"\u003eLavishly illustrated and well-researched, the book offers a comprehensive examination of the megalithic temples of Jharkhand, highlighting the tribal communities’ remarkable knowledge of mathematics and horizon astronomy. It further explores the wider spread of megalithic structures across India, from Kashmir to Kerala, and from Manipur to Gujarat, providing a compelling argument for the role of these sites in India’s tribal prehistory.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1626\" data-end=\"1952\"\u003eThis volume is essential reading for those interested in prehistoric India, archaeoastronomy, and the fascinating interplay between culture, religion, and the cosmos. It invites readers to delve deeper into the ancient traditions of the Indian subcontinent, encouraging a broader understanding of megaliths and their creators.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Niyogi Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49979320762672,"sku":"Niyogi_9789386906168","price":591.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0690\/9968\/4144\/files\/niyogi-books-book-default-title-the-archaeoastronomy-of-a-few-megalithic-sites-of-jharkhand-41373377986864.jpg?v=1775966722","url":"https:\/\/www.retailmaharaj.com\/bn\/products\/the-archaeoastronomy-of-a-few-megalithic-sites-of-jharkhand","provider":"Retail Maharaj","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
