ACKNOLEDGEMENT

A folk festival is a cultural and entertainment event that celebrates folk music and might take place in a regional, national or international setting. In addition to music, folk festivals might also include dancing, storytelling, arts and crafts displays, workshops and food. The term “folk music” was coined in the 19th century and was used to describe songs of anonymous origins that were passed on from generation to generation, usually by members of the lower classes.

Noboborsho (Pohela Boishakh) - on the 1st day of the Bengali calendar

Pohela Boishakh is the first day of the Bengali New Year. Now it is celebrated on the 14th of April of the Gregorian calendar. Celebrations of Pahela Baishakh started from Akbar’s reign. The main event of the day was to open a Halkhata (new fresh book) of accounts. In villages, towns and cities, traders and shopkeepers closed their old account book and opened new one. Women particularly young girls dress up white saris with red borders and men clothed Punjabi, fatua with traditional art in Pahela Boishakh. They spend much time of the day visiting relatives, friends, and neighbors and going to fair.

The day is celebrated on February 13. A colorful festival held to welcome Bashanto (spring). Young girls wear reddish-yellow saris with red border and decorated hairs with flowers, and boys wear traditional pajama and Punjabi. A good number of kids also get their attractive faces painted with different motifs including birds, national flag, butterflies etc.
