MONTHS IN NEPAL

 As Bikram Sambat is the official era of Nepal, Nepalese months are also accordingly different from Roman Calendar based months. The number of days in any particular month may vary from year to year; some months may have 32 days in maximum where as others may have 29 in minimum. The names of the months are as follows: Baisakh, Jestha, Asadh, Shravan, Bhadra, Aswin, Kartik, Mangsir, Poush, Magh, Falgum and Chaitra. The month of Baisakh starts approximately by the middle of April. The lunar months of the same names generally start later than solar months by about a fortnight and that each of the lunar months is in two parts, bright fortnight (Sukla Paksha) and Dark fortnight (Krishna Paksha), both of 15 days approximately.
