Today is Poila Boishakh, the Bengali New Year. Poila Boisakh or Pohela Boishakh is the first day of the month of Boishakh in the Bengali calendar. On Pohela Boishakh, people from West Bengal greet each other with Shubho Nabo Barsha or Happy New Year. Pohela Boishakh is also celebrated in Bangladesh. The Bengali year 1428 begins on Pohela Boishakh 2021. The day is all about new clothes and great food. As the saying goes Maach, Mishti, Payesh (fish, sweets, kheer) are a must on the Bengali New Year day. This year, amid the pandemic, celebrations will be low-key but the festive spirit of Nabo Barsho will be alive in households and on social media with people meeting and greeting each other online across continents.
