dc.description.abstractThis paper is about sightings and astronomical observations of the 1874 transit of Venus made from the Indian region. The sources of the information presented here range from some classic texts and historiographies, publications and records of institutions, and chronicles,to accounts by individuals. Of particular interest is the fact that the transits of 1761 and of 1874 both provided independent evidence of an atmosphere around Venus in observations made from India, and the transit of 1874 led to spectroscopic confirmation of the presence of this atmosphere.en
