Dear Sri Jagan
The entire world is said to be south of Meru including Bharatha Varsha and
Ramanaka Varsha etc. But, Bharatha Varsha does not seem to be correct. It
should be "Mero: DakshinE PArsvE but Ramanaka VarshE"
Most Panchangams and American almanacs place the beginning at about 10.01pm.
I have invited attention to this also in my said posting.
Thanks
