What is Pohela Boishakh (14th April in English calendar)?
Pohela means First and Boishakh is the First month of Bangla calendar. Pohela Boishakh is literally the first day of the month of Boishakh AKA the Bengali New Year. This is the biggest celebration of Bangladesh and for all Bengali around the world. It’s a day we Bangladeshi gather, celebrate and welcome the brand new Bangla Year with all shades of color along with traditional Red and white. There is also some vital part of this celebration like Foods, Panta-Ilish (slightly fermented water soaked rice and Hilsha Fish fry), Fair, Dance, Rally(Mongol ShovaJatra), Face paint, Street Paint and a lot more. This is that one unique day when we forget our differences, walk together and enjoy the cultural belief side by side. Being a Bangladeshi I truly miss being in my motherland on this particular day. That festive feeling, happy faces and joy you can never get anywhere else.
