Nanakshahi Calendar With Calendar Conversion Tables by Pal Singh Purewal

The Nanakshahi Calendar, a Sikh calendar, is designed to be simple, accurate, and scientific, free from the inconsistencies of the Bikrami Samvat. Spanning 1469 CE to 2100 CE, it is based on original calculations, with tithi and solar dates for the Bikrami and Old Nanakshahi calendars specifically calculated for Amritsar.

From 1999 CE to 2100 CE, the calendar incorporates solar Nanakshahi dates aligned with the versions approved by Sri Akal Takht Sahib in 1998 and 2003 (with minor revisions). The primary section offers comprehensive reference tables for 632 years (1469–2100 CE), correlating Nanakshahi dates with the Common Era, Bikrami Samvat, and Hijri Samvat.

The author has also addressed discrepancies in Sikh historical dates using primary sources, making this work a critical resource for scholars of Sikh history. While foundational for the Sikh community by establishing a scientific and authentic framework for the Nanakshahi Calendar, it also serves as a valuable tool for academicians and historians studying medieval Indian history. Additionally, it is a reliable research aid for verifying the authenticity of historical documents.
