Today Date in Bengali | আজকের বাংলা তারিখ

Today's Bengali date is displayed above according to the West Bengal Bengali calendar (পশ্চিমবঙ্গ বাংলা পঞ্জিকা). It's automatically updated daily at midnight IST (Kolkata timezone). The Bengali calendar follows a solar calendar system revised in 1966, where the first month Boishakh starts on April 14/15.

The Bengali calendar (বাংলা সন) is a solar calendar that starts from 593-594 CE, while the English Gregorian calendar starts from 1 CE. The Bengali year is approximately 593-594 years behind the Gregorian year. The Bengali New Year (পয়লা বৈশাখ) typically falls on April 14 or 15 in the Gregorian calendar.

Yes, there's a slight difference. Bangladesh follows a modified Bengali calendar where all months except Falgun have 31 days. West Bengal follows the traditional Bengali Panjika where month lengths vary based on solar calculations. Also, Bangladesh uses Dhaka time (GMT+6) while West Bengal uses Kolkata time (GMT+5:30).

Tithi (তিথি) is a lunar day in the Hindu calendar system, calculated based on the angle between the Sun and Moon. Each tithi lasts approximately 19-26 hours. The Bengali Panjika lists tithis which are important for determining auspicious times (muhurat) for Hindu religious ceremonies and festivals.

Today's Hijri (Islamic) date is shown above alongside the Bengali date. The Hijri calendar is a lunar calendar used in Islamic tradition. It's approximately 11 days shorter than the solar Gregorian year, so Hijri dates shift each year relative to the Gregorian calendar.

Bengali calendar has 6 seasons (ষড়ঋতু): গ্রীষ্ম (Grishmo/Summer), বর্ষা (Borsha/Monsoon), শরৎ (Shorot/Autumn), হেমন্ত (Hemonto/Late Autumn), শীত (Sheet/Winter), and বসন্ত (Boshonto/Spring). Each season spans two Bengali months and reflects the unique climate patterns of Bengal.

Poila Boishakh (পয়লা বৈশাখ), the Bengali New Year, is celebrated on April 14 or 15 every year. In 2025, it falls on April 14. This marks the beginning of month Boishakh and the Bengali year 1432. It's celebrated with cultural programs, processions (মঙ্গল শোভাযাত্রা), and traditional foods.
