Bengali Calendar 2027 বাংলা পঞ্জিকা
The Bengali calendar is built on solar months, so its dates stay remarkably steady from year to year. Here is everything it means for 2027: the new year, when each month begins, and the date of every major festival.

Solar months: why the dates barely move
Each month of this calendar begins when the Sun enters a new zodiac sign (a Sankranti), so month start dates stay within a day or two of the same Gregorian date every year. In 2027 the Sun enters Mesha (Aries) in the afternoon of April 14 — late enough that some regions begin the new year on April 15. Lunar-tithi festivals such as Durga Puja and Diwali move about ten days earlier than in 2026.

In 2027, Pohela Boishakh falls on a Thursday (April 15). Compared with 2026, the Moon-based festivals shift: Saraswati Puja 19 days later, Rath Yatra 11 days earlier, Bhai Phonta 11 days earlier, Kali Puja 10 days earlier. Fixed to the solar calendar or a civil date, these stay on (almost) the same day in both years: Poush Sankranti, Pohela Boishakh (WB). The 8 dates listed below run from January to October 2027.
