Bengali Panjika — Monday, December 22, 2025

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.
