Bangla Noboborsho, also known as Pohela Boishakh, is the first day of the Bengali calendar. It usually falls on April 14th or 15th in the Gregorian calendar, depending on the year.
The celebration of Bangla Noboborsho has a long history, dating back to the Mughal era in the Indian subcontinent. It is celebrated with great enthusiasm and festivity in Bangladesh and the Indian state of West Bengal, as well as among the Bengali communities in other parts of the world.
On this day, people typically wear new clothes, visit friends and family, and exchange greetings and sweets. There are also special cultural programs, music and dance performances, and traditional fairs held in different parts of the country.
One of the key aspects of the celebration is the Mangal Shobhajatra, a procession featuring colorful masks and floats, which symbolizes the triumph of good over evil. It is a significant part of the cultural heritage of Bangladesh and a way to celebrate the rich history and traditions of the Bengali people.
