Weather Forecasting & Analysis Using Hindu Calendar (Lunisolar Calendar)

Abstract

This paper investigates the unique temporal insights offered by Vedic Hindu calendars, classified as lunisolar, which inherently accommodate both solar and lunar motions. While contemporary time series analysis predominantly relies on Gregorian (solar) calendars, this study explores the potential advantages of incorporating Hindu calendars. Focusing on the intricate influences of the Sun and Moon on natural phenomena, the research underscores the crucial role of time series analysis in day-to-day applications. The study delves into weather prediction, specifically examining the correlation between paksha (lunar fortnights) and weeks. Through logical and experimental analyses, the paper not only highlights the inherent capabilities of Hindu calendars but also presents a multidimensional approach to weather forecasting by integrating their temporal insights. This research contributes to the ongoing exploration of ancient calendrical systems for contemporary scientific applications.
