Abstract

The archaeological disposition of the Prehistoric period is evident after examining many of the rock arts, petroglyphs, and other sources from various regions. Bomai Rock art showing stars might be an earlier representation of the stars of the Orion constellation. The painted grey ware from the protohistoric site of Mehrgarh has a representation of the Sun in four quadrants. The Harappan Civilization had many representations that had an astronomical affinity. The seals may be representing different constellations. Ring stones with small, drilled holes were used to find the position of the sun during various months, to determine Uttarayana, Dakshinayana, or the associated climate concerning the apparent motion of the Sun.
