Two systems of writing time developed independently: One in Kashmir, and the other in Kerala. But they developed in completely different cultural milieus. And its all connected to the parking lot of Maulana Azad Medical college in Delhi. This week, in the second episode of The Kashmir Diaries, we delve into the art of Persian and Sanskrit chronograms, which have been used for centuries for everything from poetry to statecraft to science. Tune in, and explore the beauty of these chronograms, and how they provide us hope in the preservation of our intangible cultural heritage.
