All the above experts also written vastly about How the Indus Valley Civilisation Script talks about various Asterisms, Stars, Nakshatras, Constellations of the Hindu Zodiac.
Pasupathi KumaRRappan Pillai, the writer of 12 Months Indus Valley Civilisation Yearly Calendar aptly pointed out 6 Asterisms,
6 important Full Moon Based Celebrations ("Thiruvizha") during 5000 BC Indus Valley Civilisation People's daily, monthly, yearly lives.
If we carefully study all the 12 months drawn in Gond, Gondia, Gondwana, Koya, Kui language, a Dravidian language, we can easily identify that all 12 months of the IVC calendar were identified by the sighting of Full Moon Paurnami Nilavu. During 5000 BC there was no electricity, people depended on oil lamps & Full Moon for night lamp, night light. Full Moon Paurnami Nilavu gave Joy, Light, Celestial Clock, Universal Clock for all Humanity to see & understand passage of Time. Moon based calendar was born. Moon based Almanac was born. Moon based time keeping started in 5000 BC.
Out of the 12 month IVC Full Moon calendar, only 6 pictograms in the 12 month IVC Calendar shows Thiruvizha period. Rest all 6 months pictograms do not show any major celebrations or Thiruvizha. Rest all 6 months pictograms also indicate Full Moon based monthly calendar only. But Thiruvizha or Festivals related to any Asterisms are not indicated. Since during 5000 BC whatever Thiruvizha Festival they celebrated were less. May be they had only 6 festivals in a year. May be they identified only 6 Asterisms connected with Full Moon Paurnami Thiruvizha.
What are those 6 Thiruvizha?
What are those 6 Asterisms the writer of this text Pasupathi KumaRRappan Pillai identified in the 12 months IVC Calendar?
Number 1. Pictogram is Month1.
Chithirai 1. April 14. Tamil New Year. Identified as Chitra Gupthan. Chitra Paurnami. Full Moon. Thiruvizha. Festival.
Nakkeeran. Keeran. Keeral. Keeruvadu. Pot & inscriber tool. Sun is exalted at Mesham Rashi. Aries. Full Moon stays with Chithirai Nakshatram found at Thula Rashi. Libra.
Number 2. Pictogram is Month 8.
It shows Murugan. Murukkal. Valayal. Bangles symbol. Murugiya. Murukkappatta. This pictogram & symbol slowly became Arabian Numeral Number 8 too. Notice the curves we have to make to write number 8.
Eighth month of IVC Calendar very easily, very fluidly indicates relationship with Tamil God Murugan. Kartikeyan. Karthik. Karthigai Thiruvizha. Karthigai Deepam at ThiruAnnamalai.
Number 3 Pictogram is Month 9.
Shown as a Square Box with a Tail.
This month, with its Full Moon Asterism, falls when the Sun is at Sagittarius Dhanusu zodiac. Moon is at Gemini Mithunam Rashi, Mrigashreedam Star & ThiruAadhirai Star (next day) at Orion. Oraiyan. Aryan. Constellation. This was shown as square Box. With a tail. During 5000 BC IVC times they didn't exactly draw the Orion. Oraiyan. Aryan Constellation with its full Vettaikkaran, Hunter, Kshatriyan attributes. This Margazhi Tamil Month is the 9th month of Tamil Calendar. During 5000 BC this same 9th month is indicated as Square Box. Square Dappa. With a Tail on its top side. There is a suspicion that this Square Box symbol may be connected with Mecca Square Box Empty Room worship place. Where during 5000BC Hindus constructed Makkeswaram Sivan Temple with 365 Lingams to show all 365 days of the year. This Sivan Temple later on converted into Islam faith. Only North East corner of this temple wall keeps a pure silver casket inside which broken Sivan Lingam Black Granite Stones are found. Muslims kiss this casket & black stone. They go around this empty square box mosque at Mecca. Indus Valley Civilisation people had traded with Iran, Iraq, Oman, Arabia. They needed a Sivan Temple at Mecca.
Number 4 Pictogram shows Month 10 Asterism as Cancer. Nandu. In this month, Sun stays for 30 days at Makaram Rashi, Capricorn zodiac. Whereas the Full Moon stays at Poosam Nakshatram, Pushya Star in the Cancer zodiac, which is forming a sextile, counting 7 houses from Capricorn. Thai Poosam festival is even now celebrated by Tamils all over the world.
Number 5 Asterism is Month 11 shown as 8+3. This pictogram is not actually denoting any Asterism. It's not pointing out any constellation or star clusters in the night sky. This month 11 pictogram simply shows a mathematical addition. That is, this pictogram shows Asterism of month eight as Murugan, Murukkal, Pleiades constellation, Karthik Star constellation as Number 8 and it simply have put I I I three i i i bars as addition, to be added to Number 8 and arrive at the total of this 11th month pictogram. In day to day life of Tamils, Indians, we celebrate 11th month as Kumbha Mela. Maha Kumba Mela. Maasi Magam festival. Thiruvizha. At Aadhi Kumbeswarar Temple, Kumbakonam, near Thanjavoor, Tamilnadu. That is this 11 month pictogram also indicates full moon is at Magam Star at Simha Rashi, Leo zodiac. Whereas the Sun is at Kumbham Rashi (Aquarius) for 30 days.
Number 6 Asterism is shown in the pictogram as Lambda sign. Denebola is the English name of this star. This star is found at Kanni Rashi, Kanya Rashi, Virgo zodiac. Full Moon stays at this Uththiram star. Sun stays at 12th house of the zodiac, the Pisces zodiac for 30 days. Full Moon Thiruvizha Festival is celebrated all over India on Panguni Uththiram day. This star looks like a hanging rope. Lambda sign. Danebola star. Sun is at Meenam Rashi. 12th house of the Kaala Purushan. Moon is at Kanni Rashi Uthram Star. Full Moon. Paurnami. Panguni Uthram celebration for Lord Murugan.
All the above 6 Asterisms we found in the 6 pictograms out of 12 pictograms of the 12 Month Indus Valley Civilisation Calendar easily integrates Tamil people with 5000 BC Indus Valley Civilisation at least in the form of Full Moon festivals, Thiruvizha, on particular star Nakshatram alignment with Full Moon of that given month.
