I am trying to get date from week day and year . It work and get correct Output. But when i am changing CalendarIdentifier then it will show wrong output.

Here is my code

when i am setting CalendarIdentifier is NSGregorianCalendar

 NSCalendar *gregorian = [[NSCalendar alloc] initWithCalendarIdentifier:NSGregorianCalendar];
NSDateComponents *components = [[NSDateComponents alloc] init];
[components setYear:2013];
[components setWeek:2];
[components setWeekday:1];

NSDate *resultDate = [gregorian dateFromComponents:components];

output is :-  2013-01-05 18:30:00 +0000

When i am changing CalendarIdentifier is NSIndianCalendar

NSCalendar *gregorian = [[NSCalendar alloc] initWithCalendarIdentifier:NSIndianCalendar];
NSDateComponents *components = [[NSDateComponents alloc] init];
[components setYear:2013];
[components setWeek:2];
[components setWeekday:1];

NSDate *resultDate = [gregorian dateFromComponents:components];

Output is :- 2091-03-24 18:30:00 +0000

EDIT

According to Midhun MP answer my output is correct. now my problem is if i am using NSGregorianCalendar

If NSGregorianCalendar gives you a perfect solution, then what's the issue that you are trying to address? — El Tomato, Jul 04 '13 at 06:05

The output is correct.

Indian Calendar is 78 Years back of Gregorian Calendar. So 2013 in Indian Calendar is equal to 2091 in Gregorian Calendar.

Also the first month of Indian Calendar is the Third Month of Gregorian Calendar (March)

2013 (Indian Calendar)       + 78  = 2091 (Gregorian Calendar)
3 (March in Indian Calendar) + 2   = 5 (May in Gregorian Calendar)

Likewise there is change in day also.

@Kalpesh: Where you want to change the day ? I didn't understand where you having the issue ? – Midhun MP Jul 04 '13 at 06:32
@Kalpesh: I don't know this is what you are looking for : `[gregorian setFirstWeekDay:1];` – Midhun MP Jul 04 '13 at 06:34
