The Nepali calendar: Sajilo docs

Reading the Bikram Sambat month, moving between months, and everything on a day's page, from tithi and festivals to Rahu Kaal and the panchang.

The calendar is on the Today tab. It works completely offline: every date, festival and holiday is built into Sajilo.

Reading the month

The heading shows the Nepali month and year, with the English months it spans.
Use ‹ and › to go to the previous or next month. Click the Today tab to come back to this month.
Each day shows the Nepali date large and the English date small underneath. Today is highlighted.
Red days are holidays: every Saturday, Sundays under the government’s Sunday holiday rule, and public holidays.
A small dot means you’ve added a day plan there.
Hover over a day to see its festival, or its tithi.

Digits follow your setting in Settings › Display › Numerals (Devanagari or Latin).

A day’s page

Click any day to open its page. Use ‹ and › at the top to step to the previous or next day.

The summary shows:

the date in both calendars, and how far away it is (Today, Tomorrow, In 5 days…);
the tithi;
the festival, marked Public holiday when it is one;
Saturday holiday or Sunday holiday where they apply;
Saait for weddings or bratabandha, on auspicious days;
copy buttons for the date. Click one to copy the date exactly as shown: Nepali in Devanagari digits, Nepali in English digits, or the English date.

Sun and time shows the length of daylight, sunrise and sunset, Rahu Kaal (traditionally avoided for starting something new) and the Chaughadiya for day and night, with good, neutral and bad parts coloured. On today’s page, the current part is highlighted.

Panchang lists the tithi, nakshatra, yoga, karana, the moon and its rashi, moonrise and moonset, the season and the Nepal Sambat date, each with the time it ends.

At the bottom is your Day plan for that day; see Day plans.

Sun, Rahu Kaal and panchang times are worked out on your computer for Kathmandu, and shown in Nepal time.

How far the calendar goes

Dates can be converted from BS 1992 to 2090 (about AD 1935 to 2034).
Festivals, tithi and public holidays are included for BS 2066 to 2083. Outside those years, only Saturdays and Sundays are marked.
Years 2085 to 2090 are marked Provisional — not yet officially published, because the government hasn’t published them yet.
