Hindu festivals in Bangladesh follow the lunar Panjika calendar, so most recur on a different Gregorian date each year — and some are observed only in certain years. Every festival below shows its next confirmed date and tithi where available. Explore the daily Panjika, browse deities, or find temple events near you.
Frequently asked questions
When are Hindu festivals celebrated in Bangladesh?
Most Hindu festivals follow the lunar Panjika calendar, so their Gregorian dates shift every year. Each festival page on MandirBD shows its next confirmed date and tithi when the data is available.
Do all festivals happen every year on the same date?
No. Festival dates are set from the Panjika and can fall on a different day each year, and some observances occur only in certain years. MandirBD lists the next real occurrence rather than a fixed annual date.
Can I see rituals, fasting rules, and temple events for a festival?
Yes. Open any festival to find its significance, rituals, fasting guidance, day-by-day schedule, related deity, and connected temple events when verified content exists.
