The Assamese Calendar incorporates the seven-day [[week]] as used by many other calendars. The names of the days of the week in the Assamese Calendar are based on the [[Navagraha]] ({{lang-as|নৱগ্ৰহ}} ''nowogroho''). The day begins and ends at sunrise in the Assamese calendar, unlike in the Gregorian calendar, where the day starts at midnight.
