Pohela Boishakh , also called Poila Baisakh, marks the joyous arrival of the Bengali New Year . Observed on the first day of Boishakh, the opening month of the Bengali solar calendar, it's a time of fresh starts and festive cheer. The date for Poila Baisakh varies each year but usually falls on April 14 or April 15. This year, the Poila Baisakh will be celebrated on April 15.
The vibrant celebration is especially prominent West Bengal, Tripura, and parts of Assam, and in Bangladesh and where it holds a deep cultural significance.
For Indian Bengalis, Pohela Boishakh, also known as Noboborsho symbolises new beginnings, prosperity, and hope for the new year ahead.
History of Pohela BoishakhThe history of the Bengali calendar dates back to the 7th century, during the reign of King Shashanka, the ruler of Gauda. However, it underwent significant changes much later under the Mughal Emperor- Akbar who introduced reform to simplify the tax collection system. In an effort to align Islamic and regional Bengali calendars, Akbar devised a calendar that would suit the need of landowners and farmers, ensuring taxes could be paid in sync with agricultural cycle. This practical adjustment eventually laid the foundation for celebration of Pohela Boishakh as the beginning of Bengali new year.
