Chronobiology, the science of biological timekeeping, plays a vital role in regulating life processes from cellular metabolism and sleep-wake cycles to hormonal fluctuations, behavioral patterns, flowering, and seasonal adaptation. Today, this field is gaining increasing prominence across disciplines such as medicine, agriculture, ecology, and behavioural sciences.

India, with its rich tradition of time-based practices rooted in Ayurveda, Yoga, Naturopathy and traditional knowledge systems, has long emphasized the significance of daily (Dinacharya) and seasonal (Ritucharya) biological rhythms. These traditional frameworks align remarkably well with the principles of modern chronobiology, offering opportunities for meaningful scientific integration.

This 2-day Symposium is designed to explore chronobiology through a uniquely Indian perspective—blending contemporary molecular and physiological research with the age-old wisdom of Indian knowledge systems. The symposium offers participants a robust conceptual foundation, exposure to India-specific case studies, and practical approach in circadian rhythm analysis and experimental design.

With a focus on interdisciplinary learning and real-world applications, this event aims to inspire the next generation of scholars, medical professionals, and researchers to engage with chronobiology in both scientific and culturally contextual ways.
