Leaving the old one, the first Baishakh came again year after year. However, this year's New Year will not be celebrated officially like every time. The song will not be sung at the base of Ramna, will not go to the Baishakhi fair. So the new year will not bring the month of Baishakh without the song of the red sun on the eastern horizon? By no means! Didn't you read in your childhood- "Time and current do not wait for anyone"? So the new year will start tomorrow with red light on the eastern horizon. See how fast time passes. Wondering how to live under house arrest, right? There is no reason to be upset. I will give you some ideas to have a good time. And I will share with him some things about the history of Bengali New Year. Since when, for what reason and how this day has become an integral part of our culture, I have arranged today's article with customs and principles.

If we want to know how Bengali New Year came into our culture, we must know about the history of Bengali New Year. Pahela Boishakh or Poyla Boishakh is celebrated on the first day of the first month of the Bengali year. How did this Bengali year or Bengali calendar come about? At first, according to the solar calendar, the Bengali month was celebrated from ancient times. Even then, the first day of the year was celebrated in the cultures of Assam, Tamil Nadu, Tripura, Bengal and Punjab. So how did Bengali twelve months come in the history of Bengali New Year? And the day, how was the moment fixed? Although Emperor Akbar is much talked about as the originator of the Bengali year, the inventor of the Bengali calendar is actually considered to be the 8th century king Shashanka. Later Emperor Akbar changed it for the purpose of collecting rent and revenue. At first the name of Akbar's calendar was "Tarikh-e-Elahi" and in that calendar the months were named as Arbadin, Cardin, Biswa, Tir. However, no one can say for sure when this name was changed to Boishakh, Jaistha, Ashar, Shravan. It is believed that the Bengali twelve months have been named after different stars. For example, from Bishakha Nakshatra to Boishakh, from Jayistha to Jaistha, from Shar to Ashar, from Sravani to Sravan, the month is named after the star in Bengal.
