Component body

Nepali calendar module converts Gregorian calendar (A.D.) to Bikram Sambat (B.S.) and vice-versa.

The official Nepali calendar follows Bikram Sambat, abbreviated B.S., said to have been started by mythical Indian emperor Vikramāditya. The B.S. year is approximately 56.7 years ahead of Gregorian calendar. The Gregorian year 2000 AD began 17 Poush 2056 and ended 16 Poush 2057.

Uses

Nepali date block is created automatically when "Nepali calendar" module is installed. This block contains a converted Nepali date and Nepal time (e.g., Date: Sunday, Falgun 29, 2067 08:00 pm). Users can assign this block to a region where Nepali date and time is supposed to be displayed.
