From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Kalachuri era also called the Chedi era was a Hindu system of year numbering started by the abhira[1] King Ishwarsena in which the year numbering started at some time from 248 to 250 CE.[2][3]

Origin

[edit]

The German scholar F. Kielhorn suggested that the system began in September 248, the year that began with the month of Asvina.[4][5] It was first used in Gujarat and Maharashtra (particularly Northern Maharashtra[6]), from where it spread to Madhya Pradesh and Uttar Pradesh where it was used until the 13th century CE.[7] Some sources cite an Early Kalachuri era founded in Mahismati through its ruler Maharaja Subandhu who could be an ancestor to the Kalachuris.[8][clarification needed]
