Official sources and date status
Recorded confirmation and independent source review are shown separately. An institution-specific notice does not establish closure for every employer or school.
Holi district groups, Ghode/Indra/Bhoto Jatra, women-only Teej/Jitiya/Women’s Day, education-only Basanta Panchami, disability-only leave, and community-only observances are not promoted to nationwide public holidays.
Gregorian date cross-checked against the stated Bikram Sambat date 2083-07-22.
Office arrangements
Confirmed rows follow an applicable annual notice. Future rows are provisional until the Ministry of Home Affairs publishes the relevant annual notice.
Bank arrangements
No separate nationwide bank-closure entitlement is inferred.
School arrangements
No separate nationwide school closure is inferred beyond the public notice.
History
Nepal publishes government and public holidays annually in Bikram Sambat. Gregorian dates are stored for calendar interoperability while the source BS date is retained in evidence and notes.
Why it matters
The calendar preserves national, festival and one-off public-sector distinctions without flattening limited-scope leave.
Observance
Festival names follow the identities supported by the annual notice or the cited calendar projection.
Travel and planning
Recheck provisional dates and current government notices before travel or appointments.
