The Bengali panjika used for religious observance is a sidereal solar calendar. Each month starts on the Sun's entry into a sign, so it is fixed relative to the Gregorian year across many centuries.
Puja dates — such as Durga Puja, Kali Puja and Saraswati Puja — are set from the tithi, listed alongside each day in the Bengali panjika.
