Did you know?
Bhaskaracharya's daughter Lilavati was one of the first eminent women mathematicians of India.
Bhaskaracharya was one of the best mathematicians on the face of earth. He had profound knowledge in the field of mathematics and astrology.
Bhaskara was apprehensive about his daughter's inquisitiveness and curiosity. The little girl asked her father many questions and gained a lot of knowledge this way.
When Lilavati went close to the device, she bent forward to get a closer look. A little pearl from her nose ring fell into the water.
The little pearl that fell into the water upset the calculations made by Bhaskara and the wedding took place, but not at the auspicious hour.
Lilavati's face had lost its initial charm. She seemed disinterested in the normal day to day activities.
He thought of a way to get her out of her depressed state.
