Square root is vital operation in many computer graphics applications and scientific calculation processors. The growing demand for faster calculation of arithmetic operations and the power consumption leads to the analysis of square root using ancient Indian techniques and also implementation on hardware. This paper focuses on designing and analysis report of square root algorithm based on ancient Indian mathematics i.e. Vedic mathematics. Vedic mathematics is well known for its finding faster
