Historicity of Kurukshetra war
Historicity of Kurukshetra war
Attempts have been made to find the exact date for the occurrence of this war based on astronomical and literary evidence from Mahabharata and later literature. There have been a number of theories put forward:
 Dr. S. Balakrishna concluded a date of 2559 BCE using consecutive lunar eclipses.
Prof. I.N. Iyengar concluded a date of 1478 BCE using double eclipses and Saturn+Jupiter conjunctions.
Dr. B.N. Achar states a date of 3067 BCE using planetary positions listed in the Mahabharata.
Shri P.V. Holey states a date of November 13, 3143 BCE using planetary positions and calendar systems.
Dr. P.V.Vartak calculates a date of October 16, 5561 BCE using planetary positions(The Scientific Dating of the Mahabharat War).
