The Story of Shyena

Mathematics and Astronomy Exhibition held in connection with the Kozhikode Athirathram. Shyena, the falcon-shaped fire altar, tells its own story — from the geometry of the Shulbasutras and the theorem known before Pythagoras, to Vedic timekeeping, the 27 Nakshatras, and the lifespan of the universe.
