History
The Lilavati Prize was first awarded in 2010 at the closing ceremony of the International Congress of Mathematicians in Hyderabad (India); this award was initially seen as a single act [2] [3] [4] . However, the award was so universally approved by the participants of the Congress and the media that it was decided to include the Lilavati Prize in the list of regular congressional awards [5] . Unlike other awards, the Lilavati Prize is awarded at the closing ceremony, rather than the opening of the congress.
