Kalachuri Era

The Kalachuri Era, also called the Chedi (Cedi) Era^[1] was a Hindu system of year numbering started by the Abhira King Ishwarsena^[2] in which the year numbering started at some time from 248-250 CE.^[2]^[3]

Origin

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.^[3] Some sources cite an Early Kalachuri era founded in Mahismati through its ruler Maharaja Subandhu who could be an ancestor to the Kalachuris.^[7]
