In this video you will know the biography of the Ancient Indian Astronomer, Varahamihira (জ্যোতির্বিদ বরাহমিহিরের জীবনী) in bengali. His short 'Documentary Biography' will show you a clear picture of him.
Varahamihira (6th century CE, possibly c. 505 - c. 587), also called Varaha or Mihira, was an astrologer-astronomer who lived in or around Ujjain in present-day Madhya Pradesh, India.
Unlike other prominent ancient Indian astronomers, Varahamihira does not mention his date. However, based on hints in his works, modern scholars date him to the 6th century CE; possibly, he also lived during the last years of the 5th century.
In his Pancha-siddhantika, Varahamihira refers to the year 427 of the Shaka-kala (also Shakendra-kala or Shaka-bhupa-kala). Identifying this calendar era with the Shaka era places Varahamihira in the 505 CE. Alternative theories identify this calendar era with other eras, placing him before the 5th century CE. However, these theories are inaccurate, as Varahamihira must have lived after Aryabhata (born 476 CE), whose work he refers to. The particulars of the date mentioned by Varahamihira - Shukla pratipada of the Chaitra month of the Shaka year 427 - align accurately with 20-21 March 505 CE. Al-Biruni also places Varahamihira in 505 CE.
The remaining part of his life has been described in this video and you will know who was Varahamihira.
