THE CHRONOLOGICAL SYSTEMS OF GUJARAT

A.C. 1287 The given date would correspond to Wednesday, 16 April, A.C. 1287, if it was connected with the week.day on which it commenced. However, as it commenced about 10 h. 55 m. after mean sunrise, it is probably that the tithi which is provisionally read 3 must be 2 instead. Accordingly, it would quite fit in with the given week-day.
