    Indian Systems of Fixing Chronology and Indian Eras

    It is a big problem for the students of Ancient Indian History to find uniform system of fixing

    chronology of the events in same order which may be acceptable to all the scholars. This problem

    arose due to prevalence of a number of Eras through the historic times. Yudhishtra Era,

    Saka Era, Gupta Era, Samvat Era, Harsa Era, Hijari Era, Dayananda Era, and so on.

    The purpose of this thread is to collect information about all these eras at one place so that

    research scholars and general readers could find them helpful in better understanding of the

    past of the nation.

    Members are request to share their knowledge on various facets of the Eras like when and by whom did they

    start, their nature whether they were solar or lunaar eras, what is their relation with other eras and so on.

    The natural divisions of time --years, months, and days--have, in all ages,

    been determined by the motions of the Sun and Moon.


    In India the day was reckoned from sunrise to to sunrise; the month, from one

    moon to another moon; and the year, from the

    beginning of one season until its return.

    Alexander Cunningham's Book on Indian Eras has been re-published by Oriental Publishers Delhi, (1971). The book has many tables to convert several Indian Eras in Christian Era, thus facilitating conversion for use by the scholars.

    For those general readers who have no access to the book, some important methods applied by him, may be put here for general discussion purpose..

    Thanks and regards
