Siddhanta deals with planetary positions, eclipses, calendar calculations and time cycles.
In other words, this is the branch that works out where the planets are and how time is measured. If a birth chart is drawn for you, the calculations behind it belong to Siddhanta.
It sits alongside the other two skandhas of Jyotish, Samhita and Hora.
