How the Bengali date and Bangabda are calculated
For dates on or after 14 April (Poila Boishakh) subtract 593 from the English year, 594 before it — e.g. 2026 CE = 1433 BS.
In West Bengal the Bengali New Year (Poila Boishakh) begins on 14/15 April each year and the months are solar-based.
Bengali months are solar, but tithis, Ekadashi and festival timings follow the moon — so festival dates shift each year.
