Our culture rich as it is gives way for a number of festivals throughout the year which not only helps weaving us together in a single string but also commemorate and hold on to our age old heritage.Leaving alone the Durga Puja or 'Sarodotsav', Lakshmi puja, Kali puja Saraswati puja etc.,
Bengali Calendar
Tradition, culture, rituals, and many more stand together as 'Bangaliana'.Its not only the date that we need to know but also the exact calculation of time (for tithi, nakshatra). The calculation for 'amaboshsha' 'purnima' and so on and so forth all herald from our very own Bengali calender a must necessity in all Bengali homes.
