Hindu Calendar - The Kali "Samvat"

The Kali "Samvat"

The Kali Era is not called a "Samvat" in common Indian usage, but since it Is also an era, it might be useful to mention it here too. The Hindu calendar article has more information on the Kali Era. The conversion is given here:

• Add 3101 or 3100 (using the same guidelines as above) to the Gregorian year to get the number of elapsed Kali years.
• Add 3102 or 3101 to get the current Kali yuga number.
• Remember that the former (of the above two) is the standard, as explained at the Hindu calendar article.
• This era also corresponds with Yudhisthira Samvat in which we have present year as 5110 (2009 AD)
