Fagu Purnima is Holi, the festival of colours, on the full moon of Falgun by the lunar calendar. The hills and the Kathmandu Valley celebrate it a day before the Tarai.
One holiday on two dates
The notice gives Holi on Chaitra 7 in the 56 hill and mountain districts and on Chaitra 8 in the Tarai districts from Jhapa to Kanchanpur. A company with offices in both has two calendars for this one day.
The employee works where the office is, so a staff member from the Tarai posted in Kathmandu takes Chaitra 7. It counts as one of the company's days at either office.
