Main public holidays. Holidays set by the Bengali and Hindu lunar calendars, such as Durga Puja and Buddha Purnima, and the extra days the government adds around Eid are announced each year.

Dates marked tentative follow the moon: Islamic holidays use the Umm al-Qura calendar and depend on the moon sighting, and festival dates for years without an official list are estimated. The official date can differ by a day.
