Bengali Panjika — Tuesday, May 17, 2022
The day's entry as a traditional printed Bengali almanac lays it out, computed with the old Surya Siddhanta arithmetic: the solar date, tithi and nakshatra with their end moments in danda and clock time, sunrise and sunset, the kalabela and yoga windows, and the day's observances.

About this panjika
- Computed with the old Surya Siddhanta arithmetic that traditional Bengali almanacs still use: sidereal positions, sankranti-based months of 29 to 32 days, and tithi measured from the almanac sunrise.
- The Bangla Academy calendar used for official dates in Bangladesh fixes month lengths by rule, so its date and the traditional date differ by a day or two through the year.
- Sunrise, sunset and every window are shown in Bangladesh Standard Time.
- Rashifal and forecasts are not part of this page; only the computed calendar facts are.
