Bengali Month Name

Bengali month names are also found in other states of India. However, in most of the states except West Bengal, the month of “Chaitra” is celebrated as the new year.

But, in West Bengal, “Baishakh” month is celebrated as Bengali New Year according to the “Bengali Hindu calendar”.

The month of Baishakh falls in April/May according to the English calendar. The “Baishakh” month Name also is found in other parts of India as a “Vaisakh“. Therefore, Bengali month names and pronunciation will be slightly different from other languages.

There are six distinct seasons in 12 months in West Bengal and Bangladesh, which are very clearly felt during the seasons. Chaitra month is the last month of the year and it comes in the spring season.
