World’s First ‘Vikramaditya Vedic Clock’ Becomes Top Tourist Draw

Ujjain has added a modern marvel to its ancient heritage with the “Vikramaditya Vedic Clock,” the world’s first timepiece based on the traditional Indian Panchang. Standing 85 feet tall near the Jantar Mantar, this clock doesn’t just display time; it calculates planetary positions, muhurats, and astrological data based on the sunrise-to-sunrise cycle.

For tourists, it is a fascinating blend of science and spirituality. The clock connects to the internet to provide global time updates while rooting its calculations in the ancient Indian method where Ujjain was considered the Prime Meridian. It is a must-visit spot for anyone interested in astronomy and the legacy of King Vikramaditya.
