Frequently asked questions about Bengali Panjika
What is the Bangabda?
The Bengali San year, running some 593 or 594 behind the Common Era, turning at Pohela Boishakh in mid-April. This panjika lists each day with its tithi, nakshatra and festival under the Bengali solar month.
Why does my printed panjika sometimes give another date?
Because Bengal has two computational traditions - the Gupta Press panjika and the Visuddha Siddhanta panjika - and they can differ by a day on a tithi and therefore on a puja date. Follow the panjika your family or purohit uses.
What are the Bengali months?
Boishakh, Joishtho, Asharh, Shrabon, Bhadro, Ashshin, Kartik, Ogrohayon, Poush, Magh, Falgun and Choitro - solar months, each beginning the day after the Sankranti under the Bengali rule.
Which days does a Bengali household look for?
The Durga Puja days from Mahalaya to Dashami, Kali Puja, Kojagari Lakshmi Puja, Saraswati Puja at Vasant Panchami, Jamai Shashthi, Rath Yatra, Poush Parbon and the Ekadashis. The Durga Puja calendar gives the puja days in detail.
Does it give the puja timings?
Not the muhurats. Sandhi Puja, the anjali times and the nirghanta windows are printed with the tithi hours in a full panjika; for a single day\'s timings use the daily Panchang and confirm with your purohit.
About the Bengali Panjika
The Bengali Panjika (Bangabda). Each day shows its tithi, nakshatra and festivals, with the Bengali solar month and the San (Bangabda) year.
Each day lists its tithi and paksha, the nakshatra, the weekday (vaar) and any festivals or vrats. Tap any day to see the full panchang for that date - tithi start and end times, nakshatra, yoga, karana, sunrise and sunset, and the inauspicious periods (Rahu Kalam, Yamaganda, Gulika Kalam). Use the month and year selectors to browse any year in the archive or plan ahead into the coming years.
This calendar names the tithi and festivals for each day. For sunrise, Rahu Kalam and muhurat windows on a chosen date, open the Panchang. Other regional calendars are on the Calendars index. Fast stories live under Vrat Katha.
