    The scientists of the Gupta period realised
    that the solar system had seven planets.
    They also developed technology that
    allowed them to detect solar and lunar
    eclipses. Aryabhata was one of the Gupta
    Empire’s most famous scientists, having
    discovered that the earth rotates on its axis
    and revolves around the sun.
    Science & Technology During Gupta Period

    • Aryabhatta, a great mathematician and astronomer, authored the book Aryabhatiyam


    in 499 AD. It deals with mathematics and astronomy. It explains scientifically the
    occurrence of solar and lunar eclipses.
    • Aryabhatta was the first to declare that the earth was spherical in shape and that it
    rotates on its own axis.
    • Aryabhatta was first to invent “zero” and the use of the decimal system. (A Gupta
    inscription from Allahabad district suggests that the decimal system was known in
    India at the beginning of the fifth century AD)
    • Varahamihira composed Pancha Siddhantika, the five astronomical systems. His work
    Brihadsamhita is a great work in Sanskrit literature. His Brihadjataka is a standard
    work on astrology.
    • In the fields of astronomy, a book called Romaka Siddhanta was compiled which was
    influenced by Greek ideas, as can be inferred from its name.
    • In medicine, Vagbhata lived during this period. He was the last of
    the great medical trio of ancient India. (The other two scholars
    Charaka and Susruta lived before the Gupta age. Charaka is
    known for authoring the medical treatise, the Charaka Samhita.)
    • Metallurgy saw technological advancement in Gupta times. The
    Gupta craftsmen distinguished themselves by their work in iron
    and bronze.
    • In the case of iron objects, the best example is twenty-three feet
    high iron pillar at Mehrauli in Delhi.
    • Paintings of Ajanta, still intact, indicate besides other things, the
    art of making colours during the period.
    Who were the Gupta period's greatest known scientists?

    During the Gupta Dynasty, great scientists


    were Varahamihira, Sushruta, Charaka,
    Bhaskara, and Aryabhata.
    What contribution did Gupta make to medicine and metallurgy?

     During Gupta period, the most important works of


    medicine were the Charaka Samhita and the
    Sushruta Samhita, written by Charaka and
    Susruta. In the Ashtanga Sangraha, Vagbhatta
    presents their conclusions. Additionally, Under
    the Gupta Empire, chemistry and metallurgy were
    well-developed. There are no texts about
    chemistry or metallurgy from the Gupta era.
    Nagarjuna is referred to as a brilliant chemist .
    What kind of technology did the Guptas have?

    Gupta has made numerous technological


    improvements as well as advancements in
    mathematics and engineering. Numericals
    are a nice illustration of one of their
    innovations. The Gupta Empire was not
    only the first to utilize numerals but also the
    first to use it in currency.
    contributions of the Gupta people to
    science
    • It contributes to ensuring a longer and healthier
    life, monitors our health, provides medicine to
    cure our diseases, alleviates aches and pains,
    helps us to provide water for our basic needs –
