About the Book
The book provides a concise overview of the chronological tables used in the Telugu and Kannada regions, which correspond to the modern-day states of Karnataka, Telangana, and Andhra Pradesh. This book contains profiles of the cyclical standard tables followed in these areas during the early medieval and modern periods, from 967 to 1866 AD. It includes chapters with an index detailing the chronology of different kingdoms, starting with the Yadavas and progressing through the Konkani kingdoms, Chalukyas, Vijayanagara dynasty, Deccan Sultanates, and extending to the Mysore Rajas. Additionally, there are genealogies of the kingdoms and their political profiles, tables in Kali years alongside the Gregorian calendar (which is equivalent to 3101 BC), to determine the various phases of history in the region. The text also includes the names of zodiac signs used in these areas, tables containing the Islamic Hijri calendar, and other Indian calendars, such as the Vilayati and Samvat Eras, providing a comprehensive understanding of the time periods followed by different dynasties.
