Some bengali numbers must appear there. There are some boxes appearing. These are meant for some Devanagari other varients, numbers are missing there too. However, Bengali is yet a far cry. Some one should contribute a solution to this. Even Devanagari has the same problem.
There is a gloss-bengali.ldf file, such that, when you use the polyglossia command: \setdefaultlanguage[numerals=Bengali,changecounternumbering=true]bengali, the numbering for page and for section down to subparagraph are changed to Bengali digits. Bengali names for the parts of a document are also in the file.
From the .ldf code, it should be straightforward to add the chapter, figure, table and footnote counters. Which leaves csquotes package quotation marks , perhaps equation numbering, and maybe the biblatex bibliography (and numeric citation style). And a note in the .ldf says the calendar still has to be done.

The Idaho State University Bengal Triathlon consists of a 700-yard pool swim, a furiously fast 13-mile bike, and a wickedly memorable 3-mile run. Race as an individual or as a team (2-person or 3-person team). Triathlon, duathlon, and 5K run options available! We welcome all levels of racers - from beginners through pros (yep... we get 'em all!). We want to bring new people to the sport, and do it in a way that's not too intimidating!
The Bengal Triathlon is a capstone project for Idaho State University Sport Management and Athletic Administration students. The annual event, which originated in 2006, attracts between 300 and 400 participants annually and has become the largest sprint triathlon in the state of Idaho!
Our emphasis is on you, the participant! With Dr. Caroline Faure (Dr. Smitty)'s guidance, the HPSS 4473 Sport Facility and Event Management class spends almost the entire spring semester preparing for your arrival! Once you're here, we make the event experience fun! Dr. Smitty is all about experiential learning, so our students put classroom theory into practice. We emphasize race safety with everything we do!
Our goal is not to make a lot of money. We keep the cost low, and we want to spoil our participants with super sweet swag, like hoodie sweatshirts (for those that register before April 1) and custom finisher medals. We may be small potatoes (pun intended... Idaho... get it?), but we do things BIG!
700 YARDS: It's a race in April... in Idaho... so we do this by pool, and to make sure we have enough room, we swim on Friday - the night before the bike and run! We offer five swim locations for our participants to choose from: Pocatello (the main location), Idaho Falls, Boise, Twin Falls, and Lava Hot Springs. We use your swim times to seed the bike/run start on Saturday! NOTE: Choose your swim site when you register and we'll send out the available swim times after April 1.
13 MILES: A relatively flat and super fast course that will take you from ISU Reed Gym to Century High School and back! The fastest swimmer starts us off at 9:30 sharp on Saturday morning... then everyone else based on their swim time differential. SO... if you were the fastest swimmer and your time was 8:00... you will be sent off into T1 at 9:30 (helmet and shoes on!). Your buddy, who was two minutes less fast than you, would be sent off at 9:32am. Get it? Don't worry... we'll stage everyone and we'll have big race clocks out front set to the fastest swim time. The clock starts when we send the fastest swimmer into T1... and you go when your swim time pops up! Still lost? It's okay... Dr. Smitty will lose her voice calling all of your names when it's your turn to go!
KIDS UNDER 14: Keep in mind our race was created for adults. If kids under age 14 want to race, our permits require that an adult/guardian ride directly behind them the entire time on the bike course. This is for safety. Sorry for any inconvenience this may cause.
It's cold in the spring in Idaho. A t-shirt won't keep you warm. A hoodie will. It will also keep you cozy before those open water swims in June and July. So that's why we go big. We think the super soft hoodie is one of the best things about the Bengal Tri. Most others do, too.

The history of Bengal is intertwined with the history of the broader Indian subcontinent and the surrounding regions of South Asia and Southeast Asia. It includes modern-day Bangladesh and the Indian states of West Bengal, Tripura and Assam's Karimganj district, located in the eastern part of the Indian subcontinent, at the apex of the Bay of Bengal and dominated by the fertile Ganges delta. The region was known to the ancient Greeks and Romans as Gangaridai, a powerful kingdom whose war elephant forces led the withdrawal of Alexander the Great from India. Some historians have identified Gangaridai with other parts of India. The Ganges and the Brahmaputra rivers act as a geographic marker of the region, but also connects the region to the broader Indian subcontinent.[1] Bengal, at times, has played an important role in the history of the Indian subcontinent.
The Muslim conquest of the Indian subcontinent absorbed Bengal into the medieval Islamic and Persianate worlds.[3] Between the 1204 and 1352, Bengal was a province of the Delhi Sultanate.[4] This era saw the introduction of the taka as monetary currency, which has endured into the modern era. An independent Bengal Sultanate was formed in 1346 and ruled the region for two centuries, during which Islam was the state religion.[5][6] The ruling elite also turned Bengal into the easternmost haven of Indo-Persian culture.[3] The Sultans exerted influence in the Arakan region of Southeast Asia, where Buddhist kings copied the sultanate's governance, currency and fashion. A relationship with Ming China flourished under the sultanate.[7]
The Bengal Sultanate was notable for its Hindu aristocracy, including the rise of Raja Ganesha and his son Jalaluddin Muhammad Shah as usurpers. Hindus served in the royal administration as prime ministers and poets. Under the patronage of Sultans like Alauddin Hussain Shah, Bengali literature began replacing the strong influence of Sanskrit in the region. Hindu principalities included the Kingdom of Mallabhum, Kingdom of Bhurshut and Kingdom of Tripura; and the realm of powerful Hindu Rajas such as Pratapaditya, Kedar Ray and Raja Sitaram Ray.[8]
Following the decline of the sultanate, Bengal came under the suzerainty of the Mughal Empire, as its wealthiest province. Under the Mughals, Bengal Subah rose to global prominence in industries such as textile manufacturing and shipbuilding,[9] its economy in the 18th century exceeding in size any of Europe's empires.[10] This growth of manufacturing has been seen as a form of proto-industrialization, similar to that in western Europe prior to the Industrial Revolution.[citation needed] Bengal's capital Dhaka is said to contained over a million people.[11]
The gradual decline of the Mughal Empire led to quasi-independent states under the Nawabs of Bengal, subsequent to the Maratha invasions of Bengal, and finally the conquest by the British East India Company.
The exact origin of the word Bangla is unknown, though it is believed to be derived from the Dravidian-speaking tribe Bang/Banga that settled in the area around the year 1000 BCE.[16][17] Other accounts speculate that the name is derived from Venga (Bngo), which came from the Austric word "Bonga" meaning the Sun-god. According to the Mahabharata, the Puranas and the Harivamsha, Vanga was one of the adopted sons of King Vali who founded the Vanga Kingdom. It was either under Magadh or under Kalinga Rules except few years under Pals. The earliest reference to "Vangala" (Bangala) has been traced in the Nesari plates (805 CE) of Rashtrakuta Govinda III which speak of Dharmapala as the king of "Vangala". The records of Rajendra Chola I of the Chola dynasty, who invaded Bengal in the 11th century, use the term Vangaladesa.[18][19][20]
The term Bangalah is one of the precursors to the modern terms Bengal and Bangla.[21][22][23] Bangalah was the most widely used term for Bengal during the medieval and early modern periods. The Sultan of Bengal was styled as the Shah of Bangalah. The Mughal province of Bengal was termed Subah-i-Bangalah.An interesting theory of the origin of the name is provided by Abu'l-Fazl in his Ain-i-Akbari. According to him, "[T]he original name of Bengal was Bung, and the suffix "al" came to be added to it from the fact that the ancient rajahs of this land raised mounds of earth 10 feet high and 20 in breadth in lowlands at the foot of the hills which were called "al". From this suffix added to the Bung, the name Bengal arose and gained currency".[24]
