| Abstract: | The study of manuscripts talks about the development of astronomy from ancient days till today. The details hidden in these manuscripts refer to the golden period of astronomical progress in India. Some of the manuscripts under study are Laghu-Manasa-vyākhyā, Vasishta-siddhānta, Graha-ganita-Bhāskara, bhūgola nirnayaha, nakṣatra ghaṭikā and many more. We have studied a few of these in detail and some are being studied. Palm leaf manuscripts are approximately 400year old; while the paper manuscripts are 200year old. The reading, translating and analysis appear to be a challenge. Here we summarize the highlights of some manuscripts which are analyzed partly or completely.
