2 October 2026: after 14 April, so the year is 2026 − 593 = 1433. 171 days have passed since 14 April; Boishakh to Bhadro take 155, leaving 16 — so 17 Ashwin 1433, Friday, in Shorot.
16 December 1971 (Victory Day): under the revised rule, 1 Poush 1378, Thursday.
What to know in Bangladesh
Revised calendar: in 2019 the Bangla Academy fixed the month lengths so 21 February, 26 March and 16 December fall on the same Bangla dates every year. Government work uses this calendar.
Older dates: days before 2019 are converted with the same rule; printed almanacs of that time can differ by a day.
Religious dates (tithi) are set by separate astronomical almanacs and are not shown here.
More: a short history of the Bangla calendar
There are several accounts of how the Bangla era (Bangabda) began; the most common one links it to the Mughal emperor Akbar, who introduced a harvest-based solar year to make tax collection easier. Because it follows the sun, the new year arrives at about the same time every year.
Bangladesh first reformed the calendar in 1987, fixing month lengths and setting Pohela Boishakh on 14 April. The 2019 revision made the first six months 31 days and tied Falgun to the Gregorian leap year, so national days always keep their historic Bangla dates.
