Converting dates between different calendars is an important need for millions of people worldwide. Whether you are planning a special event, looking up historical dates, or simply exploring cultural traditions, having a reliable date converter can save you time and effort.
Our Date Convert to Major Other Calendar Tool makes it simple to instantly convert any date into popular calendar systems like Bangla Calendar (Bengali Ponjika), Hijri (Islamic) Calendar, Gregorian Calendar, Buddhist Calendar, and more. This is especially useful for people in Bangladesh, India, Middle Eastern countries, and other regions where multiple calendars are used for festivals, religious events, and historical purposes.
📅 Date Convert to Major Other Calendars
Notes: Hijri uses civil/tabular method (not moon‑sighting). Bangla assumes Pohela Boishakh = 14 April (Bangladesh revised).
Tamil uses civic month boundaries. Nepali BS here is an approximation. Chinese shows Zodiac & Sexagenary year (no lunar month/day).

How accurate are the conversions?
- Hijri: civil/tabular calculation (not regional moon‑sighting).
- Bangla: Pohela Boishakh fixed at 14 April (Bangladesh revised), Falgun 29/30 rule.
- Persian (Jalali): algorithmic (Jalaali) conversion.
- Tamil: civic month boundaries (Chithirai ~ Apr 14), ±1 day may vary.
- Nepali (BS): practical approximation; official tables vary by year.
- Chinese: shows Zodiac & Sexagenary year; lunar month/day not included.
Can the tool show major festival days?
Yes. After you hit Convert, the tool displays matched festivals for supported calendars (e.g., Pohela Boishakh, Ramadan/Eids, Songkran, Tamil New Year/Pongal, Nepali New Year). Lunar‑based events beyond these will be added as rules when expanded.
Why does Hijri differ from my local calendar?
This tool uses the civil/tabular Hijri calculation for consistency. Local calendars may use moon‑sighting, which can shift dates by ±1 day.
What timezone does the converter use?
It converts dates in UTC to avoid time zone shifts. If you must reflect a local zone, convert your local date to UTC first or contact us to add a time zone selector.
Is it mobile friendly?
Yes. The UI is responsive and works on phones, tablets, and desktops.
Do I need any plugin or API?
No. It’s a pure front‑end block (HTML+CSS+JS). Everything runs in the browser.
How can I link directly to a converted date?
You can enhance the script to read/write URL parameters (e.g., ?date=2025-08-15&cal=hijri) and auto‑run conversion on page load. Ask if you want a ready‑made snippet.
Can I add more calendars later?
Absolutely. The dropdown already lists upcoming calendars. When each is implemented, simply replace the block with the updated version.
Will you add full Chinese lunar month/day?
Yes—this requires astronomical calculations. We can add an offline algorithm or a lightweight API option if you prefer.
Is my data stored?
No. The tool runs locally in your browser and doesn’t send your date to a server.
