        abstract = {Aryabhata was one of the most influential mathematicians and astronomers of ancient India. This paper examines his major contributions to astronomy, including his ideas on the spherical shape and rotation of the Earth, the scientific explanation of solar and lunar eclipses, relative motion of stars, planetary distances, and the heliocentric tendency in his thought. It also reviews his astronomical calculations, instruments, and the intellectual significance of works such as Aryabhatiya and Arya Siddhanta. The study highlights how Aryabhata’s observations and mathematical methods laid the foundation for later developments in Indian and global astronomy.},
