How to avoid document.write from this code?

#javascript

    var banglaDigit = {'0': '০','1': '১','2': '২','3': '৩','4': '৪','5': '৫','6': '৬','7': '৭','8': '৮','9': '৯'};

    var monName = new Array("জানুয়ারী", "ফেব্রুয়ারী", "মার্চ", "এপ্রিল", "মে", "জুন", "জুলাই", "আগষ্ট",
        "সেপ্টেম্বর", "অক্টোবর", "নভেম্বর", "ডিসেম্বর")

    var now = new Date;

    document.write("আজ " + dayName[now.getDay()] + ", " + now.getDate().toString().replace(/[0123456789]/g, function(s) {
                return banglaDigit[s];
            }) + " " + monName[now.getMonth()] + " " + now
        .getFullYear().toString().replace(/[0123456789]/g, function(s) {

            }) + "ইং ")

    date = new Date();
    hours = date.getHours();
    mins = date.getMinutes();
    secs = date.getSeconds();

    shift='';

You can use an html element that is already in your page and set the textContent property.

For example:

Assuming the page has this html.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
  <meta charset="UTF-8">
  <title></title>
</head>
<body>
  <div id="display-text"></div>
</body>
</html>

This is what I would do to show some text:

const display = document.getElementById('display-text');

display.textContent = 'My content goes here';

I recommend reading this nice article: Safely inserting external content into a page.
