Bangla New Year - 01

The Bengali Calendar incorporates the seven-day week as used by many other calendars. Also like other calendars, the names of the days of the week in the Bengali Calendar are based on celestial objects.

The names of the twelve months of the Bengali calendar are based on the names of the nokkhotro (lunar mansions): locations of the moon with respect to particular stars during the lunar cycle.

It is presumed that these names were derived from the Shakabda, another calendar of this region which was introduced in the Shaka Dynasty.
