Nepali Calendar
What is Nepali Calendar ?
The Nepali Calendar is like our cultural compass here in Nepal. It’s not just about marking off days; it’s deeply tied to who we are and how we celebrate.
Think of it as a beautiful mosaic, woven with threads from all the different cultures and traditions across Nepal. Each month has its own personality, some longer, some shorter, adding a little spice to our year.
But it’s not just dates and numbers. This calendar comes with its own handbook, the panchang. It’s like our go-to guide, telling us everything from daily events to the big festivals like Dashain and Tihar, which are the heart and soul of our culture.
What’s really cool is that this calendar is a bit of a time traveler, ahead of the rest of the world by about 56 years. So, while we’re living in 2024, the Nepali Calendar is already in the future!
And it’s not just us who follow it. Its influence reaches far beyond Nepal, touching countries like Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, and even Indonesia.
So, the Nepali Calendar isn’t just a tool for scheduling; it’s a living part of our heritage, guiding us through the ups and downs of Nepali life with every tick of the clock.
