Kalachuri Era

The Kalachuri era also called the Haihaya era was a Hindu system of year numbering started by the Abhira King Ishwarsena in which the year numbering started at some time from 248-250 CE.^[1]^[2]

Origin

The German scholar F. Kielhorn suggested that the system began in September 248, the year that began with the month of Asvina.^[3]^[4] It was first used in Gujarat and Maharashtra (particularly Northern Maharashtra^[5]), from where it spread to Madhya Pradesh and Uttar Pradesh where it was used until the 13th century CE.^[6] Some sources cite an Early Kalachuri era founded in Mahismati through its ruler Maharaja Subandhu who could be an ancestor to the Kalachuris.^[7]^{[clarification needed]}
