Although it's not completely clear what your question is asking, I would recommend using XeLaTeX and the polyglossia package for Bengali. This way you just enter your Bengali text in regular form.

I used the Akaash font from here: Free Bangla Fonts. Since I don't speak Bengali, I translated a short text from English using Google Translate. My apologies if it did an awful translation.

% !TEX TS-program = XeLaTeX

\documentclass[10pt]{article}
\usepackage{polyglossia}
\setmainlanguage[numerals=Devanagari]{bengali}
\setotherlanguage{english}
\newfontfamily\englishfont[Scale=MatchLowercase]{Linux Biolinum O}
\newfontfamily\bengalifont[Script=Bengali]{Akaash}
\begin{document}
\tableofcontents

\section{ভূমিকা}
এটি একটি ইংরেজি লেখা ছোট অধ্যায় যে বাঙ্গালী এ \textenglish{Google Translate} দ্বারা অনুবাদ করা হয়েছে. এটা খুব স্পষ্ট নয় যদি সঠিক অনুবাদ বা না কিন্তু ক্রিয়াটি ফন্ট দেখাতে যথেষ্ট হওয়া উচিত.
\end{document}

output of code

As the example shows, and as mentioned in the comments, this does not make all numerals Bengali. For a solution to this problem, see:

    The numerals are in English. Is there any way to make it in Bengali? – hmhsl Jan 25 '14 at 13:01

The problem with polyglossa is that its support for Bangla (or Bengali) is quite limited. This prompted me to write a new package latexbangla, which extends the former's functionalities and addresses most of the Bangla related typesetting issues. It also provides full support for common commands and environments, automatic transition from Bangla to English (and vice versa), and a patch to fix unproportionate whitespace error in popular Bangla fonts. With latexbangla, you can simply type usual LaTeX syntax and expect everything to behave as it should.

Sample code: (from package documentation)

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[banglamainfont=Kalpurush, 
            banglattfont=Siyam Rupali
           ]{latexbangla}
\begin{document}
পিথাগোরাস(Pythagoras)-এর উপপাদ্যটি হল, \textit{সমকোণী ত্রিভুজের অতিভুজের উপর অঙ্কিত  
বর্গক্ষেত্রের ক্ষেত্রফল অপর দুই বাহুর উপর অঙ্কিত বর্গক্ষেত্রের ক্ষেত্রফলের সমষ্টির সমান।}
অর্থাৎ কোন সমকোণী ত্রিভুজের অতিভুজ $c$ এবং অপর দুই বাহু $a$ এবং $b$ হলে,
\[c^2=a^2+b^2\]
লক্ষ্য করুন, এখন পর্যন্ত টেক্সট প্রদর্শনের জন্য \textbf{কালপুরুষ} ফন্ট ব্যবহৃত হয়েছে।\\
\texttt{এবার, টেলিটাইপ(Teletype) টেক্সট প্রদর্শনের জন্য \textbf{সিয়াম রূপালী} 
ফন্ট ব্যবহৃত হল।}\\
পুনরায় টেক্সট প্রদর্শনের জন্য \textbf{কালপুরুষ} ফন্ট ব্যবহৃত হচ্ছে।
\end{document}

  • The package "latexbangla" is removed from CTAN. – Dutta Dec 29 '16 at 10:24
  • The package 'banglatex' is missing from CTAN, not latexbangla. I have updated the link, check again. – Adib Hasan Jan 11 '17 at 12:17
  • @AdibHasan, does it support the Nikosh2 font? – Omar Shehab Apr 14 '17 at 23:03
  • I was using your code in a different project and got "! Package polyglossia Error: The current roman font does not contain the Bengal i script! (polyglossia) Please define \bengalifont with \newfontfamily." – Omar Shehab Apr 15 '17 at 0:02
  • Please give me a link to this font. I'll let you know. – Adib Hasan Apr 16 '17 at 7:26

Nothing is impossible

\documentclass{report}
\usepackage{fontspec}
\setmainfont{[Kalpurush.ttf]}
\newfontface{\en}{[Chapaza Italic.ttf]} %%this is optional, if you want to use a secondary font. Any english font is supported

\begin{document} 
\chapter{আমি বাংলায় গান গাই। }
এখন খুব সহজে বাংলা ফন্ট ব্যবহার করুন\\ 
{\en fontspec} প্যাকেজ এবং {\en XeLatex} ইঞ্জিন এর সাহায্যে।\\

{\Large বড়ো অক্ষর}\\
\rule{6cm}{1pt}\\
{\en\ Hope this will help you a lot}
\end{document}

working very well, just download Kalpurush.ttf font and past it into the project folder. remember that the font name need to be accurate. Now change your latex compile engine to XeLatex instead of PdfLatex. Kalpurus.ttf download link: Click

  • Welcome to TeX.SX! You can highlight code in your post using back-ticks. To highlight code-blocks, either indent them by four spaces or use the {} on the gui. – Andrew Jan 4 '18 at 14:16
  • Can you please add a link where the font can be downloaded from? – egreg Jan 4 '18 at 14:39

    How is this different from the other answers (apart from the fonts chosen)? – Alan Munn Jan 4 '18 at 22:29
  • choosing a font is the main thing while you are using bangla. You have used Akaash.ttf and that is not good in arranging the bangla alphabets – Ravi Jan 5 '18 at 5:59

    @ravi Then you should explain why in your answer. I have no stake in this issue, but if you want to help other Bangla users your answer should explain why this is a better approach. Also, the other answer uses the same main font as your example, but also suggests the banglalatex package. Do you have problems with that package too? – Alan Munn Jan 5 '18 at 16:02

I'm using overleaf for Bangla writing. There is no installation and it's easy. Follow my instruction.
