He visited the shrine and offered prayers for the peace, prosperity and good health of the people. ‘Poila Boishakh’ marks the first day of the first month (Baishakh) of the lunisolar Bengali calendar. ‘Poila Boishakh’ is observed by Bengalis all across the world irrespective of geographical location but the occasion has a special significance for Bengalis in Bangladesh and in Bengali-speaking areas of India including West Bengal, Tripura, and Assam.
The auspicious day is marked by various cultural and art performances. People visit their relatives and greet each other saying Shubho Noboborsho.
To celebrate the new year, Bengalis clean their house and decorate their front door with ‘alpana’, which is a painting done with a mixture of rice and flour.
