The traditional Pahela Boishakh's rally known as Mangal Shobhajatra has received UNESCO recognition as an Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity. The Mangal Shobhajatra festival symbolises the pride of Bangladeshi folk heritage, as well as our strength and courage to fight against sinister forces, and the vindication of truth and justice. This achievement has made Bengali nationality more illustrious. And our tradition and culture have acquired renewed importance in the global sphere.
