v2.c12.s9.4
The heliacal rising and setting of planets is a matter of great importance in our country. Religious rites like those of marriage etc. are forbidden when Jupiter and Venus are set. This has mainly raised the importance of this subject and it is believed to be one of the means to test the accuracy of astronomical calculations in the light of observation.
