POILA BOISAKH
Bengali New Year 2023 falls on April 15 this year. There are two different ideas about the history of Pohela Boishakh. While some say that the Bengali era began with King Shoshangko in the 7th century, others claim that King Akbar, after uniting the lunar Islamic calendar and the solar Hindu calendar, founded the Bengali calendar. Bengali Hindus in some rural parts of India attribute their start to Emperor Vikramaditya and believes the Bengali calendar begins in 593 CE. Before the beginning of the new year, Bengalis rush to avail themselves of a copy of their Panjika and plan the yearly events accordingly. This year-long handbook marks the auspicious timings to conduct any special events along with its dates and timings. From planning a new business to fixing wedding dates, everything is planned according to Panjika. We have it all covered only after going through the auspicious times and dates available in a Panjika. It is an inseparable part of the ‘Nobo Borsho’ celebrations not only in West Bengal but all over India. Even the Bengalis living in foreign countries take some break from their work to celebrate Nobo Borsho celebrations. The Bengalis welcome the new year by exchanging gifts and sweets with their friends and relatives. It is a significant part of Poial Baisakh celebrations. On the first day of the year, children seek blessings from the elder member of their family. Also, they send gifts and greetings to the ones whom they could not meet on this day. Those who stay in close proximity visit each other’s houses to wish happiness and love on this day of New Year. They also try out traditional and contemporary handicrafts as they are made out of organic or eco-friendly material, and they look pretty good as well.
We learned how the people of Bengal are crazy behind the celebration of Poila Baisakh (Shubho Nobo Borsho). They believe that it is a day of indulging yourself in fun activities and performing prayers. Food lovers may enjoy a taste of different delicacies in new restaurants. This is how the people of Bengal give grand welcome to the new year. With this, hope you have a great upcoming new year. Wishing you a Shubho Nobo Borsho.
