How does this tool work?
Convert a date between the Gregorian calendar and the Indian national Saka calendar, a standardized solar calendar used for official civil purposes in India.
Conversion uses the browser’s Intl indian calendar engine to calculate the Saka year, month and day corresponding to a Gregorian date. In the reverse direction, Bethemesh searches for the exact Gregorian day that reproduces the entered Saka values. A Saka year begins with Chaitra, normally on March 22 and on March 21 when the corresponding Gregorian year is a leap year.
