The Kalachuri era also called the Chedi era or the Haihaya era[1][2][3] was a Hindu system of year numbering started by the Ahir King Isvarasena[4] in which the year numbering started at some time from 248-250 CE.[4][5]
Origin[change | change source]
The German scholar F. Kielhorn suggested that the system began in September 248, the year that began with the month of Asvina.[6][7] It was first used in Gujarat and Maharashtra (particularly Northern Maharashtra[8]), from where it spread to Madhya Pradesh and Uttar Pradesh where it was used until the 13th century CE.[5]
