Vikramaditya Vedic Clock : Inaugurated By Prime Minister Narendra Modi
The Prime Minister recently inaugurated the Vikramaditya Vedic Clock, which is mounted on an 85-foot tower within Jantar Mantar in Ujjain.
- Vikramaditya Vedic Clock is the world’s first ‘Vedic Clock’, designed to display time according to the ancient Indian traditional Panchang (time calculation system).
- It has been positioned on an 85-foot tower within Jantar Mantar in Ujjain, Madhya Pradesh.
- It also provides information on planetary positions, Muhurat, astrological calculations, and predictions.
- It also indicates Indian Standard Time (IST) and Greenwich Mean Time (GMT).
- The clock will calculate time from one sunrise to another.
- The period between the two sunrises will be divided into 30 parts, whose one hour consists of 48 minutes, according to ISD.
- The reading will start from 0:00 with the sunrise functions for 30 hours (an hour of 48 minutes).
- It has been developed by Lucknow-based Sanstha Arohan, using digital interventions, enabling it to be connected to the internet and provide a wide range of features through a mobile app named after the clock.
