The Sylheti solar calendar (Sylheti: ꠎꠟꠣꠟꠤꠚꠤꠞꠣ, romanized: zolalifira) is a solar calendar designed for use in the Indian region of Greater Sylhet by the Sylheti people. The New Year in the Sylheti calendar is known as Noyafira. It begins counting from two months after the arrival of Shah Jalal (Rh) in the land of Sylhet.
The calendar differs by 1303 years from the Gregorian calendar, marking the year of Hazrat Shah Jalal's arrival and settlement in the holy land of Sylhet.
