Nepali date conversion

Project Summery

This project is a Python-based GUI application designed to convert English dates (Gregorian calendar) into Nepali dates (Bikram Samwat) with ease and accuracy. It is built using the tkinter library for the graphical interface and tkcalendar for date selection, along with nepali_datetime and bikram modules for date conversion logic.

The application provides an intuitive, user-friendly interface where users can pick or enter an English date and instantly see the corresponding Nepali date. It is especially useful for students, professionals, and institutions in Nepal who frequently need to work with both date formats.

One of the key features is its automatic history management. Every date conversion performed by the user is automatically saved into a .txt file using Python’s file handling capabilities. Users can view their past conversions at any time or clear the history with a single click, ensuring both convenience and privacy.

The software is lightweight, requiring minimal system resources, and does not depend on an internet connection for conversions. It supports cross-platform usage on any operating system where Python is installed.
