Ancient Indian Time Counting: An Analytical Study

India has had a glorious tradition of knowledge and science since ancient times. Two quantities are critical in the study of science: (1) space and (2) time. It is impossible to study the events happening in the universe without accurate information about space and time. According to Stephen Hawking's Big Bang theory, about 12 to 14 billion years ago, the universe was compressed. Due to an explosion in it, every particle compressed in it started expanding, resulting in the creation of the universe. Along with this, time has also been created because we measure changes through time. When the change started, time also started from that time itself. The universe originated billions of years ago, but in the currently prevalent time calculation, we are able to calculate only a few thousand years. On the other hand, the ancient Indian calculation of measuring time has a very glorious history. In Indian astrology, the date and time of solar and lunar eclipses are told on the basis of this time calculation. In this paper, we will analyze this ancient Indian time calculation so that we can know whether the basis of this time calculation is scientific or imaginary
