Indian Sky Map

Explore the night sky with Indian Sky Map, a virtual planetarium that displays the celestial sphere in authentic Indian astronomical tradition. Whether you're an amateur astronomer or simply curious about the cosmos, this app transforms your device into a window to the heavens above.

Discover the complete map of the sky featuring all 27 nakshatras with their precise boundaries, the 12 rashis of the zodiac, and the Sun and Moon in real time. Track the visible planets—Budh (Mercury), Shukra (Venus), Mangal (Mars), Brihaspati (Jupiter), and Shani (Saturn)—along with the lunar nodes Rahu and Ketu. Locate iconic celestial landmarks like Dhruva Tara (the Pole Star), Saptarishi (the Great Bear), and major constellations including Mesh, Dhanu, Vrishabha, Kark, Ashadha, Jyeshta, and Kritika.

Each celestial object is labeled with both traditional Sanskrit names and Western astronomical nomenclature, making it accessible whether you follow Vedic or modern astronomy. This dual-naming approach ensures you can identify any star or planet by either naming convention, with updates planned as new celestial discoveries are made.

Built on the proven foundation of Sky Map, this app inherits robust stargazing features while adding the cultural richness of Indian astronomical heritage. Created by the trusted developers behind Hindu Calendar, Indian Sky Map combines scientific accuracy with respect for traditional Indian cosmology.

Perfect for students of Vedic astrology, amateur astronomers, and anyone seeking to understand the night sky through an Indian perspective.
