Diplomatic Community Cheers Nepal’s New Year 2081

Bikram Sambat is an eternal calendar, for it runs synchronously with Sun’s motion and state. Bikram Sambat incorporates both the features of Shak Sambat and practical aspects of Gregorian Calendar. The BS was introduced after 3,044 years since the beginning of Kali Yuga.

The Embassy of India, through its official social media platform, X, extended warm New Year wishes, marking the beginning of Baisakh 1 in the year 2081 BS.
