The Surya Siddhanta, an Indian astronomical text written by Varahamihira in the 6th century CE, was translated into Slavic languages and played a crucial role in shaping Slavic astronomical knowledge and practices.

Indian astronomical knowledge was primarily transmitted to Slavic regions through cultural exchanges, such as the exchange of scholars, texts, and ideas between Indian and Slavic cultures.

The Slavic Solar Calendar, also known as the Julian Calendar, was influenced by the Indian solar calendar, particularly in terms of its structure and the calculation of leap years.

Indian astronomy influenced Slavic stargazing practices in multiple ways, including increased accuracy in astronomical observations, enhanced symbolism associated with celestial bodies, and improved navigation techniques.

Slavic astronomers initially adopted the geocentric model from Indian astronomy, which placed the Earth at the center of the universe and explained the motion of celestial bodies around it.

Indian astronomy influenced Slavic beliefs about celestial bodies in various ways, including the deification of planets, the association of celestial bodies with deities, and the astrological significance attributed to them.

The astrolabe, an instrument used for measuring the altitude of celestial bodies, was introduced to Slavic regions from India and became an important tool for astronomical observations.

Indian astronomy influenced Slavic understanding of eclipses in several ways, including improved methods for predicting eclipses, enhanced explanations of their causes, and the development of rituals associated with eclipses.

The Indian concept of cyclic creation and destruction, known as the kalpa cycle, influenced Slavic beliefs about the structure of the universe, suggesting that the universe undergoes cycles of creation, destruction, and renewal.

Indian astronomy contributed to the development of Slavic navigation techniques through the provision of improved star charts, accurate calendars, and the development of navigational instruments such as the astrolabe.

Indian astronomical concepts such as karma and reincarnation, astrology and fate, and numerology and divination influenced Slavic beliefs about the relationship between celestial bodies and human affairs.

Indian astronomy contributed to the development of Slavic astronomical terminology through the adoption of Sanskrit terms, the adaptation of Indian concepts, and the development of new terminology to describe astronomical phenomena.

The Indian concept of cyclic time, known as the kalpa cycle, influenced Slavic beliefs about the nature of time, suggesting that time moves in cycles rather than in a linear fashion.

Indian astronomy contributed to the development of Slavic astronomical education through the establishment of astronomical schools, the translation of Indian texts into Slavic languages, and the training of Slavic astronomers by Indian scholars.
