Mangal Shobhajatra heightens significance of Pahela Boishakh celebrations
The Bengali New Year holds pride, tradition, and a sense of identity for the people of Bangladesh. Unlike many other nations, we have our own calendar, the Bengali Panjika, for our daily needs and calculations. Bangladesh is primarily an agrarian country, and agriculture is our mainstay. The majority of our population resides in rural areas, where the Bengali calendar is extensively used for various activities.
