Today's Bikram Sambat (BS) date is at the top of the calendar, beside the English (AD) date and the weekday. The day changes at midnight in Nepal.
The government's notice for 2083 lists 26 public holidays for everyone, besides Saturdays, and more for some people or places: women employees, the Kathmandu Valley, schools, or a community.
Dashain's public holiday is Asoj 31 – Kartik 6 (October 17 – October 23, 2026), and Tihar's is Kartik 22–26 (November 8 – November 12, 2026).
The notice gives some days off only to the people they concern: Teej to women employees, the jatras to the Kathmandu Valley, a community's festival to that community. Those days carry a dot on the calendar, and who each is for is beside its name.
Festivals that follow the moon, such as Eid, are dated by the government nearer the day. Until it announces the date, they are listed as to be announced.
From the Ministry of Home Affairs' notice of the year's holidays in the Nepal Gazette, and the dates it announces later. The BS dates come from the same calendar as our date converter.

Farmers in Gundu and potters in Bhaktapur are ramping up production to meet the seasonal demand for Makhamali garlands and clay lamps ahead of Tihar.
Potters in Bhaktapur say electric lights have cut demand for clay diyas, Ratopati reported, while a trader in Rajbiraj says sales of clay and bamboo festival goods double in the run-up to Tihar.
