Who first discovered that the earth is round / oval in Hinduism

























May be one of the first person who said that earth was round was Galileo. But was he the first person to show or any other European or in matter any other non-Bharatiya (non-Indian)?

Some say that, Ferdinand Magellan (with Antonio Pigafetta) had already sailed around the world, before Galileo became significant in the next century.





Galileo said the earth was round, and also some say that all educated Europeans of the time knew that the earth was round and had known it from the time of Aristotle and Aristarchus of Samos, they had known and accepted it for almost 2000 years before itself. Some say, only the uneducated thought the world was flat, if they considered the shape at all.





Some say that the Greeks knew it was round, as did others in history prior to Galileo.





Some say it was to the world and the Church, whether the earth was round or flat. Some say was Church so ignorant about this?





Now let us think in the Sanatana Dharma (Bharatiya or Indian) point of view.





We all know that in the Satya Yuga or Kruta Yuga according to our Puranas, that our Bhoomandala or Bhoomaata or Prithvi (Mother Earth) was stolen and was kept under the ocean by the rakshasa (demon) Hiranyaksha (Here, ocean means, not the ocean of our own planet, but that of the celestial planet. That is of some other much bigger planet compared to our own earth).





Now, refer the images shown. Here it is very clear that our Bhoomaata (Mother Earth) is indeed round / oval in shape. It is very much clear that our Sanatana Dharma in every sense is correct and is free of error(s). We were knowing that our Bhoomaata was indeed round in shape without any question about it.





Our Samskruti, our thinking is something which is out of reach to any foreigners thinking. To be more accurate, there is no foreigh country to the Bharatiya Samskruti, as all over the earth, it is only Bharatiya people are living. That is, each and every person on this earth is directly or indirectly is a Bharatiya / Indian.





In many of the temples, all around Bharata, we can find this image(s) of Bhagavan Sri Varaha Swamy (He is Sri Hari's one of the avatar).
