Poila Boishakh (Bengali New Year)
Poila Boishakh (পয়লা বৈশাখ), also written Pohela Boishakh, is the Bengali New Year (বাংলা নববর্ষ), the first day of the solar month of Boishakh. It is celebrated in West Bengal, Tripura and by Bengalis everywhere.

New clothes, a festive meal and the greeting Shubho Noboborsho mark the day.
