Seven Days of the Week in the Nepali Calendar
The Nepali calendar follows a seven-day week. Each weekday has a commonly used Nepali name and a corresponding English name.
| Day No. | English Day | Nepali Day | Common Romanized Name |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Sunday | आइतबार | Aaitabar |
| 2 | Monday | सोमबार | Sombar |
| 3 | Tuesday | मंगलबार | Mangalbar |
| 4 | Wednesday | बुधबार | Budhabar |
| 5 | Thursday | बिहिबार | Bihibar |
| 6 | Friday | शुक्रबार | Sukrabar |
| 7 | Saturday | शनिबार | Sanibar |
These seven weekday names are useful when reading Nepali calendars, writing dates, planning events, and communicating schedules.
What Is Bikram Sambat (BS)?
Bikram Sambat, commonly abbreviated as BS, is the calendar system used throughout Nepal. It is used in government records, school documents, financial records, newspapers, cultural events, and many everyday activities.
The BS calendar has 12 months, including Baisakh, Jestha, Ashadh, Shrawan, Bhadra, Ashwin, Kartik, Mangsir, Poush, Magh, Falgun, and Chaitra.
Unlike the Gregorian calendar, the number of days in a BS month can vary depending on the month and calendar year. This is one reason why checking a date with a calendar-based tool is more reliable than assuming that every Nepali month has the same number of days.
Why Is Finding the Weekday of a BS Date Useful?
Knowing the weekday of a Nepali date can help with many personal, educational, and professional activities.
Check which weekday a birthday, wedding anniversary, or memorable date falls on.
Find the weekday associated with an old date recorded in Bikram Sambat.
Check weekdays when preparing meetings, family programs, ceremonies, and events.
Use weekday information when reviewing academic records, schedules, and assignments.
Verify the weekday associated with dates in invoices, applications, and other records.
Check dates from diaries, old documents, and personal notes.
BS Date and AD Date: Understanding the Difference
Bikram Sambat and Anno Domini (AD) are two different calendar systems. The BS calendar is commonly used in Nepal, while the Gregorian AD calendar is used internationally.
A date in one calendar can be represented by a corresponding date in the other calendar. However, the conversion is not a matter of simply adding or subtracting a fixed number of days or years. The exact conversion depends on the calendar date and year.
The Day of the Week Finder BS displays the equivalent AD date alongside the weekday result when the conversion information is available. This can help you understand the selected Nepali date in both calendar systems.
Tips for Getting an Accurate Weekday Result
- Always confirm the BS year before entering a date.
- Select the correct Nepali month.
- Check that the entered day is valid for the selected month and year.
- Use the complete date rather than estimating the weekday from memory.
- Review the displayed BS date after calculation.
- For official documents, verify important dates against an authoritative calendar or record.
