Sankranti 2083
संक्रान्ति २०८३
A sankranti (संक्रान्ति) is the day the sun enters a new zodiac sign. There are 12 sankrantis in a year — one for each zodiac transition — and in the Nepali calendar each one falls on the first day of a Nepali month. Two are major national observances: Mesh Sankranti, the start of the Nepali year, and Maghe Sankranti, the winter-solstice festival.
