Counting to Maha Shivaratri
Maha Shivaratri is the night of Shiva. Devotees fast and keep vigil, and Pashupatinath draws hundreds of thousands of pilgrims, sadhus among them, from Nepal and India.
When a holiday lands on the weekly rest day
In 2083 Maha Shivaratri falls on a Saturday. For an office whose weekly rest day is Saturday, that gives nobody an extra day: a public holiday that only coincides with the weekly off does not create a second day off.
What changes is the count. If the company had picked Shivaratri as one of its 13 days, the day still counts, but it costs no working time. Companies that want the year to give real time off pick days that fall on weekdays.
Is Maha Shivaratri 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(n).

Maha Shivaratri 2083 questions
Maha Shivaratri is Falgun 22 2083 BS, which is Sat, 6 Mar 2027. The date comes from clause 2.1(n) 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.
Not for coinciding with the weekly off. Substitute leave under Section 42(2) is owed only to someone who actually works the holiday, within 21 days.
