Its careful technical scholarship places this at this atlas's top tier for calendrical conversion specifically. It is the right source for the mechanics of Indian dating systems and for converting a historical date between systems. It is not a source on the religious meaning of a calendar or a festival's observance, which needs a dedicated source on that tradition's practice.FactsClaims Backed By This Source (535 claims)Comments (0)Reader Challenges (0 open reader challenges)FactsAssessmentReliability TierWell-attested1A technical nineteenth century reference work providing tables and rules for converting dates between the historical Indian lunisolar calendrical systems and the Julian and Gregorian calendars, cited for that conversion mechanism rather than for religious meaning.NotesWell-attestedA technical 19th-century reference work of tables and rules for converting dates between the historical Indian calendrical systems (Hindu lunisolar and related eras) and the Julian and Gregorian calendars.
