Summary

A metrological analysis of the Mohenjo-daro 'Dancing Girl' figurine reveals potential correlations between its dimensions and the traditional Indian Aayaadi measurement system, suggesting a possible link to the nakshatra Shatataraka. This study marks the first systematic examination of the sculpture's measurements using Aayaadi principles, proposing that further interdisciplinary research is needed to validate this hypothesis. The approach combines metrological analysis with iconographic features, offering new avenues for understanding the cultural and astronomical significance of one of the Indus Valley Civilization's most iconic artifacts.
