Vikram Samvat

Bikram Sambat · official in Nepal, counted from 57 BCE

The Bikram Sambat — official in Nepal and widespread across northern India — counts from 57 BCE, running some 57 years ahead of the Common Era. Its months begin at the solar sankranti, the moment the sun crosses into a new sidereal sign, so their lengths vary between 29 and 32 days.
