Nepali patro
The patro is a full Vikram Sambat calendar with the tithi, the festivals, the auspicious timings and the daily Rahukaal for each date — in Nepali, computed on the device. It is built on the same planetary calculation as your kundali, so the calendar and the chart agree.
Key takeaways
- Vikram Sambat (BS) calendar with Gregorian (AD) alongside.
- Nepali festivals and observances marked by date.
- Auspicious timings (saita) and daily Rahukaal.
- Tithi, nakshatra and the rest of the panchanga for each day.
- Included in the Free plan; works with no internet connection.
What the patro shows
- Month view in Vikram Sambat, with the corresponding AD dates, so both calendars are readable at once.
- Festivals and observances — the dates a Nepali household actually plans around.
- Rahukaal for each day, computed from sunrise and sunset for your location rather than from a fixed table.
- Auspicious timings for the day.
- Tithi and panchanga detail on tapping any date.
Why Rahukaal is location-dependent
Rahukaal is one of eight equal parts of the daylight period, so its start and end move with sunrise and sunset — which move with latitude and with the season. A Rahukaal printed for Kathmandu is not the Rahukaal in Biratnagar, and neither is correct in Delhi. Because the app knows your location, it computes the window rather than reprinting a generic one.
Vikram Sambat conversion
BS dates convert to and from AD throughout the app, not just in the patro — see the date converter and the guide to BS–AD conversion for why the conversion is not a fixed offset.
Frequently asked questions
Is the Nepali patro free?
Yes. The patro and calendar are included in the Free plan, on one device.
Does the patro show Rahukaal for my city?
Yes. Rahukaal is derived from sunrise and sunset for the location you set, so it is correct for where you actually are rather than for a single reference city.
Is the patro in Nepali?
Yes. The whole app, including the patro, runs in Nepali, Hindi or English.
