How today's Bangla date is worked out
Bangladesh's national Bangla calendar is tied to the English calendar, so the same English date gives the same Bangla date every year. The year begins on 1 Boishakh, which is always 14 April. The first six months, Boishakh to Ashwin, have 31 days. Kartik, Ogrohayon, Poush and Magh have 30. Falgun has 29 days, or 30 when the English year is a leap year. Choitro has 30.
The Bangla year (Bangabda, BS) is the English year minus 593 from 14 April onward, and minus 594 before it. So 14 April 2026 began 1433, and 14 April 2027 begins 1434. The page reads today's date in Bangladesh time (UTC+6), so it shows the right day for visitors abroad too.

Why some Bangla calendars show a different date
Two things cause a one-day difference. First, Bangladesh revised its calendar from 1426 (14 April 2019). The older table gave only the first five months 31 days. The revision moved days so that national days keep the Bangla dates they had in history: 21 February is 8 Falgun, 26 March is 12 Choitro and 16 December is 1 Poush. Converters and printed calendars that still use the old table are a day off between mid-October and mid-March.
Second, West Bengal and other parts of India use a different, astronomical Bengali calendar (the Surya Siddhanta panjika). Its new year usually falls on 15 April, and its month lengths change from year to year. A date from a Kolkata panjika will often not match the Bangladesh date.

Bangla date and Hijri date together
Newspapers in Bangladesh print three dates: English, Bangla and Hijri. The Hijri (Islamic) month begins when the new moon is sighted, so it cannot be fixed in advance. This page calculates the Hijri date with the standard arithmetic calendar and lets you shift it by a day to match the announced date. For Ramadan, Eid and other religious dates, follow the announcement of the National Moon Sighting Committee.

No. It is calculated with the arithmetic Islamic calendar. In Bangladesh each Hijri month starts on the National Moon Sighting Committee's announcement and can be a day different, so the page has a one-day adjustment.
