The count starts from today's date in Nepal (Kathmandu time). Today is not counted, so a festival tomorrow shows 1 day. Each row is the next date of that festival in the current or next Bikram Sambat year, taken from the same calendar data as the holiday list. Once a festival passes, its row moves to next year's date.
Most Nepali festivals follow the lunar tithi, not a fixed BS or AD date. Dashain Tika is on Ashwin Shukla Dashami, Laxmi Puja on Kartik Aunsi, Chhath on Kartik Shukla Shashthi, Holi on Fagun Purnima and Teej on Bhadra Shukla Tritiya. Their AD date can shift by up to about three weeks from one year to the next. Maghe Sankranti (Magh 1) and Nepali New Year (Baisakh 1) follow the solar calendar, so they stay near 14 January and 14 April.
Dashain starts with Ghatasthapana and Vijaya Dashami comes nine days later. Tihar runs five days from Kag Tihar to Bhai Tika, with Laxmi Puja on the third day. Chhath falls six days after Laxmi Puja. This page lists the main day of each. The festival pages linked from each name show every day of the festival with its date.
The Holiday column shows whether the day is on the government holiday list. Some holidays apply only to certain groups. For example, Haritalika Teej is a holiday for women employees only. Check the holiday list for the full year, including Saturdays and regional holidays.
Vijaya Dashami (Dashain Tika) is on 4 Kartik 2083 (21 Oct 2026), 21 days from today. Laxmi Puja is on 22 Kartik 2083 (8 Nov 2026), 39 days from today.
Dashain follows the lunar calendar. Ghatasthapana is on Ashwin Shukla Pratipada and Vijaya Dashami on Ashwin Shukla Dashami. The tithi falls on a different BS and AD date each year, so Dashain usually lands between late September and late October.
No. The count is from today to the festival date. If the festival is tomorrow the page shows 1 day, and on the day itself it shows Today. The count changes at midnight Nepal time.
Usually two. Laxmi Puja is on Kartik Aunsi, Govardhan Puja the next day, and Bhai Tika on Kartik Shukla Dwitiya. When a tithi is added or skipped, the gap can change by a day. The table above shows this year's actual dates.
