RAREST TELUGU PANCHANGAM’S COLLECTION

Sri Peddinti Ramam from Vadapalem, Kothapeta Mandal, East Godavari District had collected 103 “Panchangalu” from 1910 to 2013. The actual casting of a Panchāngam involves elaborate mathematical work involving high level of spherical geometry and sound understanding of astronomical phenomena, such as sidereal movements of heavenly bodies. However, in practice the tabulation is done on the basis of short-cut formulations as propounded by ancient Vedic sages and scholars. This rare collection secured name in Telugu Book of Records.
