Pahela Baishakh getting celebrated virtually
The nation is almost celebrating Pahela Baishakh, the first evening of Bangla New Year 1428, on Wednesday without outdoor programmes as the government enforced a weeklong stricter restriction.
The government has enforced a weeklong stricter restriction from April 14 to stem the alarming spread of deadly coronavirus.
Pahela Baishakh is probably the most colourful and biggest festivals through which the Bangalees bid farewell to the classic yr and welcome the brand new Year.
On this occasion, people from all walks of lifestyle wear traditional Bangalee dresses. Young women wear white colored sarees with reddish colored borders and adorn themselves with bangles, flowers, and tips, while guys wear light pyjamas and panjabi or kurta.
The city persons usually start the day with the original breakfast of ‘panta bhat’ (soaked rice), green chilli, onion and fried fish at Ramna Park, Suhrawardy Uddyan, Dhaka University Campus, Rabindra Sarobor at Dhanmondi and other amusement places.
