Hemangada Thakura was the King of Mithila between 1571 AD to 1590 AD. He was also an Indian Astronomer in 16th century.[1] He was famous for his astronomical treatise Grahan Mala. The book told the dates of the eclipses for 1088 years from 1620 AD to 2708 AD. The dates of lunar and solar eclipse that Hemangad Thakur had fixed on the basis of his unique calculations are proving to be true till date.[2]
