Maharashtra to Install Astronomical Time Display Devices at Government Buildings
The Maharashtra government has approved the installation of two 'Kaalaayan' astronomical time display devices at Mantralaya and Vidhan Bhavan, costing Rs 10.97 lakh. These digital clocks will show Indian Standard Time, GPS time, sunrise and sunset timings, planetary positions, and Panchang details, integrating traditional Indian chronometry with modern timekeeping. Manufactured by Pune-based Aarsh Vidya Pvt Ltd, the devices aim to present time in relation to natural and celestial cycles, highlighting cultural, religious, and national events alongside standard time.
