dc.description.abstract	Modern solar astronomy took root in India with the discovery of helium during the total solar eclipse of 1868 and followed by the setting up of the Kodaikanal Observatory in 1899. We provide a brief overview of the growth of this field, describe the various Indian solar observing facilities and summarize the highlights of solar research in India during the last few decades.	en
