সম্পর্কে বাংলা পঞ্জিকা

The Bengali Calendar (Bangla Panjika / Bangabda) is a solar calendar with 12 months and 6 seasons. The new year — Pohela Boishakh — is celebrated on April 14/15, when the Sun enters Mesha (Aries). It uses the Bengali San era, established by Mughal Emperor Akbar in the 16th century to align tax collection with harvest cycles.

बंगाली कैलेंडर सौर है — 12 महीने और 6 ऋतुएँ। नववर्ष पोहेला बोइशाख 14-15 अप्रैल को मनाया जाता है।

The Bengali Calendar (Bangabda) was instituted by Mughal Emperor Akbar around 1556 CE by combining the existing Hindu solar calendar with the Hijri lunar reckoning — to create a calendar that aligned tax collection with the harvest cycle. It is a solar calendar in the same lineage as the Tamil and Malayalam calendars: months are determined by the Sun's sidereal position. The Bangabda starts approximately 593 years before Gregorian — so 2026 CE corresponds to 1432-1433 Bangabda. The new year (Pohela Boishakh) is celebrated grandly across West Bengal, Bangladesh, and Bengali diaspora communities with cultural programs, Mangal Shobhajatra processions, and the opening of new account books (Halkhata).

Pohela Boishakh 2026 (Bengali New Year) falls on Tuesday, April 14, 2026 — when the Sun enters Mesha (Aries). This is the start of Bengali year 1433.

What are the 12 Bengali months?

Boishakh (বৈশাখ), Joishtho (জ্যৈষ্ঠ), Ashadh (আষাঢ়), Shraban (শ্রাবণ), Bhadro (ভাদ্র), Ashwin (আশ্বিন), Kartik (কার্তিক), Agrahayan (অগ্রহায়ণ), Poush (পৌষ), Magh (মাঘ), Falgun (ফাল্গুন), Choitro (চৈত্র). The year ends on Chaitra Sankranti (April 13).

What is the current Bengali year?

The current Bengali year (Bangabda) is calculated as Gregorian year - 593 (or - 594 before Pohela Boishakh). For example, 2026 CE corresponds to Bengali year 1432-1433.

What are the 6 Bengali seasons?

Grishma (গ্রীষ্ম, summer — Boishakh-Joishtho), Borsha (বর্ষা, monsoon — Ashadh-Shraban), Sharat (শরৎ, autumn — Bhadro-Ashwin), Hemanta (হেমন্ত, late autumn — Kartik-Agrahayan), Sheet (শীত, winter — Poush-Magh), Basanta (বসন্ত, spring — Falgun-Choitro).

Who started the Bengali calendar?

Mughal Emperor Akbar instituted the Bengali calendar around 1556 CE by reconciling the Islamic Hijri lunar calendar with the Hindu solar calendar. The motivation was to align tax collection (kharaj) with the harvest cycle, which the Hijri calendar (being lunar) did not match.

When is Durga Puja 2026?

Durga Puja 2026 will be observed in Ashwin Shukla Paksha — typically late September or early October. Mahalaya (the start) is on the new moon before; Sasthi (Day 1) begins the formal puja, climaxing at Vijaya Dashami when the goddess returns to Kailash.
