Celebrating
Pahela Boishakh
 Children,
teenagers and adults all celebrate the coming of the Bangla
New Year, Pahela Boishakh. Dressed in traditional
Boishakhi colours like red and white, everyone
gets ready to have a day of fun be it at Charukala or any
other mela. People feast on tasty pithas,
buy flowers and bangles, take fun rides on the nagordolas,
sing traditional songs of Boishakh, get their faces
or other parts of their bodies painted and generally engage
in the Pahela Boishakh spirit that seems to fill
the air with laughter and warmth.
