Answers
Answer:
The megalithic monuments of peninsular India, believed to have been erected in the Iron
Age (1500BC – 200AD), can be broadly categorized into sepulchral and non-sepulchral in
purpose. Though a lot of work has gone into the study of these monuments since Babington
first reported megaliths in India in 1823, not much has been understood about the
knowledge systems extant in the period these were built – in science and engineering,
especially mathematics and astronomy. We take a brief look at the archaeological
understanding of megaliths, before taking a detailed assessment of a group of megaliths (in
the south Canara region of Karnataka state in South India) that were hitherto assumed to be
haphazard clusters of menhirs. Our surveys have indicated positive correlation of sight-lines
with sunrise and sunset points on the horizon for both summer and winter solstices. We
identify 5 such monuments in the region and present the survey results for one of the sites,
demonstrating the astronomical implications. We also discuss the possible use of the
typologies of megaliths known as stone alignments/avenues as calendar devices.
