About today's Nepali date
The Bikram Sambat (BS) date shown above is calculated live in Asia/Kathmandu time (UTC+5:45). That matters because the day rolls over in Nepal up to 13 hours and 45 minutes before it does in places like Los Angeles, so a website serving the "current Nepali date" needs to anchor itself to Kathmandu, not the visitor's local clock.
The Bikram Sambat calendar is Nepal's official solar calendar — roughly 56 years and 8 months ahead of the Gregorian (AD) calendar. Months range from 29 to 32 days and the year begins on 1 Baisakh, around mid-April. Today's BS date is the same one printed on every Nepali patro, citizenship card and government form for this day.
How is today's date calculated?
The current moment in Asia/Kathmandu is converted to its BS equivalent using a verified epoch (1 Baisakh 1970 BS = 13 April 1913 AD) and a per-year month-length table covering BS 1970 through 2099. The weekday is the same as the underlying Gregorian weekday — both calendars share the same seven-day week.
