The process of converting a date from the Nepali Bikram Sambat (BS) calendar to the Gregorian calendar is a common requirement for individuals and organizations working with Nepali dates in an international context. For example, translating “//” to its Gregorian equivalent, 2023/August/18, enables interoperability with systems and individuals who primarily use the Gregorian calendar.
This conversion is significant in various fields, including legal documentation, historical research, and software development. The ability to accurately map dates between the two systems facilitates communication, ensures data integrity, and prevents misunderstandings that may arise from using different dating conventions. Historically, the need for this capability has grown with increased globalization and the interconnectedness of Nepali institutions with international partners.
