How the Bengali calendar works
In West Bengal a month begins on the day after the Sankranti, the day the Sun enters a new sign, so months have 29 to 32 days. Festivals such as Durga Puja and Kali Puja follow the tithi.
Pohela Boishakh is 1 Boishakh, the day after the Sun enters Mesha (Aries), in mid-April.
