Ancient Indians used sun clocks (sundials) to measure time based on the sun’s position, long before modern clocks were invented.
Sun clocks could precisely track time using the movement of shadows, making them reliable for daily activities and rituals.
Unlike modern clocks, sun clocks aligned with nature’s cycles, ensuring a deep connection with solar movements and seasons.
Ancient Indian scholars used sun clocks to calculate planetary positions, eclipses, and time divisions, contributing to early astronomy.
Famous structures like Jantar Mantar in Jaipur still showcase sun clocks, proving the brilliance of ancient Indian timekeeping methods!
