BANGLA

Bangla is a Python package for converting Gregorian dates to the Bengali calendar, translating English numerals to Bangla numerals, and generating Bangla ordinals for dates. It computes the full Bengali calendar date, including year, month, day, weekday, season, and ordinal based on the revised Bengali calendar (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bengali_calendars) officially adopted in Bangladesh in 1987. (For Bengali communities in India, the calendar may differ slightly.)

The package also allows converting English numeric strings (e.g., "123") into Bangla numerals (e.g., "১২৩"). It is compatible with Linux, macOS, and Windows systems.
