Nandigrama is the name of a location, place or region somewhere in Western India where a school of astronomers and mathematicians flourished during the thirteenth-eighteenth centuries CE. David Pingree, one of America's leading historians of the exact sciences (primarily mathematics) in antiquity, identified Nandigrama with Nandod in Gujarat.[1][2] However, modern scholarship has identified Nandigrama as the Nandgaon village in the Raigad district in Maharashtra State.[1][3] It lies about 64 km south of Mumbai on the Konkan coast.
