The Bangla Academy calendar used in Bangladesh has fixed month lengths, while almanac months follow the sankranti. As a result the Academy date runs one or two days ahead of the traditional date.

Almanac sunrise is the moment the sun's centre is on the horizon at the traditional reference meridian of Bengal. The Dhaka values are the usual astronomical ones.

How this panjika is made

  • It is calculated with the old Surya Siddhanta rules that traditional Bengali almanacs still use: sidereal positions, months of 29 to 32 days set by the sankranti, and tithis measured from the almanac sunrise.
  • Official dates in Bangladesh follow the Bangla Academy calendar, which has fixed month lengths. That is why the two dates differ by a day or two through the year.
  • Sunrise, sunset and every time window are shown in Bangladesh time.
  • This page has no rashifal or forecasts, only the calculated calendar facts.
