"Aso he Boishak, Aso Aso…"
One of the most important traditional festivals is "Pohela
Boishak" (bengoli new year) for Bangali nation. Beside Bangladesh, India also celebrate
“Pohela boishak”, And the meaning of “Pohela Boishak” is forget
old accept new.
Bangla Year was launched on 10 March 1584, but was dated
from 5 November 1556 or 963 Hijri. Akbar-e-Azam’s ordered to resolve all
dues on the last day of Choitro. The next day was the first day of the New Year
(Bengali New Year), the day for a new opening; landlords used to allocate
sweets among their tenants, and businessmen would commence a “Halkhata” (new
financial records book) and lock their old ones. Vendors used to provoke their
consumers to allocate sweets and renew their business relationship with them.
There were fairs and festivities allover and gradually “Pohela Boishak” became
a day of celebration. The Bengali New Year begins at dawn, and the day is
marked with singing, processions, and fairs. Traditionally, businesses start
this day with a new ledger, clearing out the old. People of Bangladesh enjoy a
national holiday on “Pohela Boishak”. All over the country people can enjoy
fairs and festivals. Singers perform traditional songs welcoming the new year.
