The usual greeting is नयाँ वर्षको हार्दिक मंगलमय शुभकामना, meaning warm and auspicious wishes for the New Year. Cards add the Bikram Sambat year, such as नयाँ वर्ष २०८४, and sometimes a line wishing health, happiness and progress.

The Nepali New Year is Baisakh 1 in the Bikram Sambat calendar, which falls in mid-April, usually on the 13th or 14th. The card shows the Nepali date first and the English date beneath it.

Can I make a New Year card for my business or school?

Yes. Put the organisation’s name where a family name would go, add a logo as an image, and write one line for customers, parents or staff. The link can be shared in groups or posted as an image on social media.

What goes on a Nepali New Year card?

A Nepali New Year card carries the greeting नयाँ वर्षको हार्दिक मंगलमय शुभकामना with the new Bikram Sambat year, for example नयाँ वर्ष २०८४. It names the sender, a family, a school or a business, and often adds a short wish for health, peace and progress in the year ahead.

When the card is an invitation, it also gives the day, the time and the venue of the gathering. The Nepali New Year falls on Baisakh 1, in mid-April, so the card shows both the Bikram Sambat date and the English date beneath it.
