Geo-history and traditional farming calender in Kashmir Valley
Publication of annual almanac Vijayeshwar Panchang by Vijayeshwar Jyotish Karyalaya (Regd.) since three centuries in Kashmir has been constantly devoting a few pages that predict the local climatic conditions based on the astrological calculations for the year and their effect on important crops, productivity and quality. Agricultural operations in Kashmir are carefully timed so as to fall within a certain period before or after Navroj (spring) and Mezan (autumn). If the period exceeds it is sure to lead to crop failure.
