When to go to Bardhaman
The best window is November to February, when days are dry and mild and the morning temple and park visits are comfortable. March is workable if you start early. April to June is hot and humid, and July to September brings heavy monsoon rain that makes walking unpleasant. October is drying out but busy with Durga Puja crowds. Older travellers should keep sightseeing to mornings and rest in the afternoon at any time of year.
