In any case, I wanted
to get my hands on one, and searched a lot on the web. I wanted to get some
Nepali dates and tithis. There are some online Nepali calendars, but they were
not detailed enough. For example, is the correct purnima on a Friday or
Saturday? Or is my Nepali birthday on the 10th or the 11th? How about when Fulpati, Dashain Tika, Laxmi Pooja, or Bhai Tika is? I couldn’t accurately answer these questions unless I was looking at a
bhitte patro (or, a regular, pocket
patro).
So the question was where could I find the Nepali Bhitte Patro Calendar for 2069? As I mentioned above, I looked around a lot without
much success. However, someone I knew had received a link for a 2069 Bhitte
Patro in his Facebook account. He sent it to me and I downloaded the PDF
version. It’s a copy of the Jagadamba Bhitte Patro – 2069.
So here I am… I’ve uploaded the PDF here and you too can download
the Nepali Calendar. It’s designed very well and is quite extensive.
Download your 2069 Nepali Patro today. It's around 6MB, so have patience if your internet connection is slow.
