The Tīrthalāl Naghabhanī Archive (TLA): Family Collection (TLF)

TLF includes documents mainly related to religion, rituals, Rajbhandari clan documents related to family deity, guthi, genealogy trees, and others that Tīrthalāl inherited from his family.

Custodial history: From Tīrthalāl's Family Collection (TLF) to Tīrthalāl's Personal Collection (TLP).

The dates, including the use of calendars, in the Listing are as given in the original documents, except where the exact date is not given. The calendars used in the documents are Vikram Samvat (VS), Nepal Samvat (NS) and Śaka Samvat. The use of the terms Sudi and Vadi (waxing and waning halves of the lunar month) have been replaced with Śukla and Kṛṣṇa respectively. To convert VS to CE, subtract 57 (Caitra-Pauṣ) and subtract 56 (Pauṣ-Phāgun) from the VS. Similarly, to convert NS to CE add 880 to NS. And, add 78 to convert Śaka Samvat to CE.
