Pohela Boishakh is a significant cultural festival marked by various festivities and traditional rituals. In Bengali, the word Pohela means 'first', and Boishakh is the first month of the Bengali calendar. Hence, the name of the festival, Pohela Boishakh, is also known as Bengali New Year. Bengali New Year is referred to in Bengali as Nobo Borsho, where 'Nobo' means new and 'Borsho' means year. On this day, early morning cultural processions called Prabhat Pheri are held in West Bengal, where dance troupes and children dressed up with floats display their performance arts to songs of Rabindranath Tagore. Pohela Boishakh celebrations are incomplete without the Mangal Shobhajatra, a colourful procession with handmade masks and floats, symbolising the triumph of good over evil.
