Origin
changeThe German scholar F. Kielhorn suggested that the system began in September 248, the year that began with the month of Asvina.[6][7] It was first used in Gujarat and Maharashtra (particularly Northern Maharashtra[8]), from where it spread to Madhya Pradesh and Uttar Pradesh where it was used until the 13th century CE.[5]
