About this converter

This tool reverses the Bangla calendar back into the standard Gregorian (English) calendar. Enter the Bangla day, choose one of the 12 Bangla months, and type the Bangla Sambat (BS) year — the page returns the matching English date along with the weekday and ISO-format equivalent.

How the reverse conversion works

Each Bangla month has a fixed Gregorian start date in the Bangladesh civil reckoning: Boishakh starts on 14/15 April, Jyaistha on 16 May, Ashar on 16 June, and so on. To get the Gregorian date for a Bangla date, the tool finds the start date of the chosen Bangla month and adds (day − 1) days.

Worked example

Take 1 Boishakh 1433 BS (Pohela Boishakh, Bangla New Year). Boishakh starts on 14 April in the Bangladesh civil version, and BS 1433 corresponds to Gregorian 1433 + 593 = 2026. So 1 Boishakh 1433 = 14 April 2026.

Bangla Sambat year offset

The Bangla calendar era — Bangla Sambat or BS — started in 593 CE under Emperor Akbar, who realigned the existing Bengali calendar to the Hijri year. For Bangla months from Boishakh through Poush (April – December), the Gregorian year = BS + 593. For Magh through Choitro (January – mid-April), Gregorian year = BS + 594.

Frequently asked questions (FAQ)

Bengali to English date FAQs

How do I convert a Bengali date to an English date?

Pick a Bangla day, Bangla month (from the dropdown), and Bangla Sambat (BS) year in the converter above. The page returns the matching Gregorian (English) date, including the weekday and ISO format.

When does the Bangla year change?

The Bangla year changes on Pohela Boishakh — the 1st of Boishakh — which falls on April 14 or 15 in the Gregorian calendar. So Bangla 1 Boishakh 1433 corresponds to 14 April 2026.

What Gregorian year does a Bangla year correspond to?

For Bangla months Boishakh through Poush (Apr–Dec), the Gregorian year is BS + 593. For Magh through Choitro (Jan–Apr), it is BS + 594. The converter handles this transition automatically.

Why does the day count look different from a printed almanac?

This converter uses the Bangladesh / West Bengal civil reckoning where each Bangla month starts on a fixed Gregorian date (e.g., Boishakh on April 14/15, Jyaistha on May 16). Traditional sidereal panchang almanacs may differ by 0–1 day because they follow lunar-solar transitions rather than fixed start dates.

What is "BS" after the year?

"BS" stands for Bangla Sambat — the Bangla calendar era. It started in 593 CE under the rule of Emperor Akbar, who reformed the existing Bengali calendar to align fiscal year with the harvest season.
