Did you know?
- The name রবি was the inspiration for the pen name of Rabindranath Tagore, the first non-European to win the Nobel Prize in Literature.
- In the traditional Bengali calendar, the week does not always start on রবিবার as it does in the West, as some historical systems focused on lunar cycles.
