BANGLA CALENDAR

A Bangla Calendar App (বাংলা ক্যালেন্ডার অ্যাপ) is a specialized calendar and utility app designed for native Bengali speakers across Bangladesh, West Bengal (India), and the global diaspora.

​It tracks dates using the traditional Bengali Era calendar system (Bangabda / বঙ্গাব্দ)—which runs roughly 593 years behind the Gregorian calendar—while seamlessly syncing with standard English and Hijri (Islamic) calendar dates.

​Key Features & Capabilities

​Dual/Triple Date Display: Displays the current Bangla date and month (e.g., Boishakh, Joishtho) alongside the Gregorian date (English calendar) and Hijri (Islamic) dates simultaneously.

​Digital Panjika (পঞ্জিকা) & Almanacs: Integrates full daily almanac details including Tithi, Nakshatra, Rashifal (Horoscope), and auspicious timings (Shubh Muhurat) for traditional Bengali households.

​Regional Variations Support:
