Notes
- Each English date has that day's Bengali and Hijri date below it. Bengali dates follow the Bangla Academy calendar as revised in 2019.
- Hijri dates depend on moon sighting. Dates for the coming months are calculated and may shift by a day or two once the moon is sighted.
English Calendar 2023 with Bangla dates
2023 has 365 days. It is not a leap year. On the Bengali calendar it is split between two years: 1429 Bangabda until 13 April, and 1430 from Pohela Boishakh on 14 April. Each cell in the grid above shows the English date in large type with the Bengali and Hijri dates below it, so you can check all three on one page.

A Bengali month begins around the middle of an English month, between the 14th and the 17th. That is why every English month covers parts of two Bengali months. Poush is the only Bengali month that is split across two English years, running from 16 December to 14 January. Click a month name to open its full grid.

How to read the grid
This grid starts the week on Sunday, the way most English calendars do. The Bengali calendar on this site starts on Friday. Friday and Saturday are the weekend in Bangladesh, so those two columns are shaded grey. Public holidays are red. The day a new Bengali month begins has a blue line on the left edge of its cell. Click any day to see its Bengali, English and Hijri dates along with the weekday and season. You can download a month grid as a PDF or an image.
