Nepali Calendar 2070 -- Important Dates

When I posted 2069 Bhitte Patro last year, I never expected the response to be so positive. Many of you have viewed and downloaded the Nepali calendar for 2069 and have asked that I post the calendar for 2070. I had to scramble to find the right dates and ensure that everything is correct. So here it is:

As you can see, new year day in the Nepali Year 2070 falls on a Sunday on April 14.

Similarly, Dasain in 2070 starts on Saturday October 5 (Asoj 19) and Bijaya Dashami is on Monday, October 14 (Ashoj 28).

Laxmi Puja in 2070 is on Sunday, November 3 (Kartik 17). For women who celebrate Teej (a national holiday), it's on Sunday, September 8 (Bhadra 23).

I have also gathered marriage dates in 2070 (bibah muhurta) and will share it in a separate post soon. In the meantime, I'm also working on a PDF version of the Nepali Patro for 2070 and will publish that soon as well.

Nepali Bhitte Patro Calendar - 2069

Update (Feb 24, 2013): Nepali Calendar 2070 important dates now posted!

Some may call it Nepali Calendar while others might call it Nepali Patro or Bhitte Patro. And there are so many different ones available – Jagadamba, Toyanath Pant, and many others.

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 10^th or the 11^th? 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.
