“The Pudu Mandapa is sometimes called the Vasanta or Spring Mandapa, a reference to the time of year when it is used. Vasanta is the Sanskrit term for the two Tamil months of Cittirai and Vaikaci (May-June).”

Ideas on time in the Islamic world had existed since the medieval period. Due to maritime commerce and religious influences from Arab travellers it is highly plausible that Medieval Islamic ideas on time and science spread through Sudan, Ethiopia and the coastal areas of the Red Sea continuing in the early-modern and modern periods. “The most detailed descriptions of different kinds of sundials and of their theory appeared in the medieval Islamic countries. The first known to us, although nonextant, was written in Baghdad by Ibrahim al-Fazari (d.ca. 777).”

“Hence the regular calls to prayer were not even given from a lofty minaret but rather from a small dais a few feet high, usually by a blind man. A sighted person could tell him the right time from the stars or the sun’s shadow.”

“Essentially, the Tamil calendar is a solar calendar, with aspects of the lunar cycle incorporated for fixing certain religious and temple festivals. The Tamil month begins when the sun enters a particular iraci (rasi-zodiac). Therefore, the number of days in a particular month does not remain constant or equal, although on the average the length of the year is 365 days.”

“Just west of the North Acropolis, Hasaw built an unusual group of structures: a Twin Pyramid Group. It was not built to honor a person, but to honor time. Time was sacred to the Maya. It was so important that they used two different calendars to mark the passing of every day and every year. The number twenty also had great significance. The Maya numbering system was based on twenty, instead of on ten as ours is. The end of a twenty-year period, a katun, was therefore an event of great importance, and it was greeted with elaborate festivities.”

“Guilds chiefly undertook, in the name of the Trinity, the Virgin Mary, or a saint, to provide members with solemn funerals and requiem masses for their souls, but they also repaired bridges and highways, provided fresh water facilities and conduits in towns such as Bristol, Norwich, and Ashburton, offered members business contacts or proto-banking facilities, paid midwives, looked after town clocks, and played a prominent part in civic ceremonial and the rituals of the communal year. At Henry VII’s formal entry into Bristol in 1487, for example, an elephant with a clockwork Resurrection scene on its back was provided.”

Clocks, among other rare and expensive items, were gifted between the wealthy elite of the east (such as China and India) and the west (such as the Venetians), so they may have passed through the trade routes and possibly been gifted to a khan, but this is not confirmed in the sources.
[1]
Calendars were also used.

Julian Calendar: Until 1918, Russia used the Julian calendar, which was 12 days behind the Gregorian calendar adopted by most Western countries by the 20th century. This difference led to some unique chronological discrepancies in historical events and records.
