Friday · clause 2.1(b), 7.1(a) of the notice
Counting to Buddha Jayanti
The notice lists this day three times over: as Chandi Purnima with the Kirat Ubhauli festival, again as Buddha Jayanti under birth anniversaries, and again as International Workers' Day. It is still one day off.
Buddha Jayanti marks the birth of Siddhartha Gautama at Lumbini, on the full moon of Baishakh. The same full moon is Chandi Purnima, the Kirat Ubhauli festival.
Buddha Jayanti and May Day fall on the same day
International Workers' Day is the one holiday the Labour Act names. Section 41(1) gives 13 days of paid public leave "including May Day", so every employer following the Act gives 1 May.
In 2083, 1 May is also Buddha Jayanti and Chandi Purnima. The notice lists the day three times, and it is still one day off. It counts once against the 13, so a company has 12 other days left to pick for the year.
Is Buddha Jayanti a paid holiday for a private company?
Only if the company picks it. Section 41 of the Labour Act 2074 fixes 13 paid public leave days a year (14 for a female employee) and leaves the choice of days to the employer; government offices close under the notice.
Nepal Rajpatra, Khanda 75, Sankhya 67, Bhag 5, clause 2.1(b), 7.1(a).

Buddha Jayanti 2083 questions
Buddha Jayanti is Baishakh 18 2083 BS, which is Fri, 1 May 2026. The date comes from clause 2.1(b), 7.1(a) of the Government of Nepal's 2083 public holiday notice.
Only if the company picks it. Section 41 of the Labour Act 2074 fixes 13 paid public leave days a year (14 for a female employee) and leaves the choice of days to the employer; government offices close under the notice.
No. International Workers' Day, 1 May, falls on Buddha Jayanti in 2083, so it is one day off and not two.
