Bengali New Year (Bengali: নববর্ষ Nôbobôrsho) or Poyela Boishakh (পহেলা বৈশাখ Pôhela Boishakh or পয়লা বৈশাখ Pôela Boishakh) is the first day of the Bengali calendar, celebrated in both Bangladesh and West Bengal, and in Bengali communities in Assam and Tripura. Pohela Boishakh connects all ethnic Bengalis irrespective of religious and regional differences. It falls on April 14 or April 15 of the Gregorian calendar depending on the use of the new amended or the old Bengali calendar respectively. In Bangladesh, it is
celebrated on April 14 according to the official amended calendar designed by the
Bangla Academy. In Bangladesh, Pohela Boishakh is a national holiday and in West Bengal and Assam it is a public (state) holiday and is publicly celebrated on April 15 every year.
To celebrate this day I went to Dhaka University area early in the morning... It was easy for me to go there as I had night shift in the office. Thats why after finishing the office I went to Dhaka University area but I missed the Ramna Batamul's program to capture :( any ways the day was really awesome.
Here are some captured photos...
When the rally was going there was the special attractive thing was all the photographer & journalists were busy with taking the pictures... see what happened the Raju Vashkaja here :D
After that I also took some other pics also
In the Pohela Baishakh the most attractive group was this group :D as they are very much exceptional in their
dress up.
Here I also noticed the attendance of the children was very much high. All the family members were participating in this cultural eve.
Here are some evidence of that...
All are coming to attend the programme of Sayanot in the early morning thats why they might not sleep well at the night :)
