a.     In India, many traditional calendars are being followed and each calendar has its own variations. Like, a particular calendar has specific variations which have different starting day of every year and then having different starting day for every month. However, in KKP community mainly two traditional calendars were followed in the past viz., VSA (Vikram Samvat Ashadh) i.e., Kutchi Calendar and VSK (Vikram Samvat Kartak) i.e., Gujarati Calendar. Nowadays only VSK calendar is widely followed, which is our default calendar.

b.    With respect to conversion of dates from Vikram Samvat calendar to International Calendar i.e., Gregorian Calendar, there is difficulty in identifying which Vikram Samvat calendar has been used. The problem intensifies when a mix of calendars are used. That is to say, within one document, some dates are recorded as per Kutchi Calendar as well as Gujarati calendar, without mentioning which calendar type.

c.     While converting the dates, if the traditional date is accompanied by the day (વાર) of the week, then great reliance is placed on that information to find out the type of calendar used to record date.

d.    We have also carefully studied the contexts with respect to the dates and also have checked to ensure that all other dates in the document are sync with each other. If needed, we have relied on external document which also has recorded the date of the same event.

e.     Further, since the traditional calendars can have inherent variation with respect to Tithi (તિથિ), i.e., sometimes Tithi is repeated or is completely skipped. If Day of Week is not mentioned, then in such cases there is very slim possibility of having variation of one day.
