According to tradition, Hindu New Year celebrations commenced around 57 BCE. King Vikramaditya of Ujjain celebrated his victory over Shaka rulers. The earliest inscription which refers to Vikram era dates to 842 CE is the Dholpur Inscription of Chahamana ruler Chandamahasena

@IndicMeenakshi @pratiklokh19190 It was shalivahan, not vikramaditya. Stop peddling misinformation.

@IndicMeenakshi Just as the North follows the tradition of King Vikramaditya, the Deccan tracks the Shalivahana Saka Era, built on the legacy of the Satavahana victories over the Sakas. I just did a thread on the astrophysics and history behind Hindu new year celebrations x.com/Tarkasuddha/st…

@IndicMeenakshi Who was King Vikramaditya? Some say he was a Gupta King and some say he was Parmar King. @IndicMeenakshi

@IndicMeenakshi Chaitra Shukla Pratipada, Nav Samvatsar aarambh bahut purana hai. Surya Siddhanta ke anusaar yeh aaj se lagbhag 14000 varsha poorva shuru hua. Ramayana kaal main.

@IndicMeenakshi @pratiklokh19190 Not vikramaditya, but raja shalivahan. You're a jain, but you don't read jain scriptures. It's king shalivahan.

@IndicMeenakshi @Sanjay_Dixit प्रणाम मीनाक्षी जी। कश्मीर में हम सप्तऋषि संवत मानते हैं। आज सप्तऋषि संवत का वर्ष 5102 प्रारंभ हुआ है। @Aabhas24 @TrueIndology @bhashasumbli

@IndicMeenakshi Happy New Year 2086.

@IndicMeenakshi Why was there almost a millenium of gap between the supposed start of Bikram Sambat, and first epigraphic evidence for it?

@IndicMeenakshi So basically if you are following Shaka calendar, it means you are with a loser?

@IndicMeenakshi So does that mean Vedic period did believe in new year

@IndicMeenakshi Sri Parabhava Nama Samvatsara Ugadi Subhaakankshalu 😊🙏

@IndicMeenakshi It’s also known as gurjar vikarmi sanvat !!!!

@IndicMeenakshi Year 2083 now.

@IndicMeenakshi Happy Ugadi meenakshi ma'am 😊✨️

@IndicMeenakshi Can it really be called 'Hindu navabarsh' as there are plenty others?

@IndicMeenakshi Every region has their own new year
