पोइला बैशाख (बंगाली नव वर्ष)

The Bengali solar New Year celebrated on Mesha Sankranti (April 14-15). Halkhata (new account books) are opened by businessmen with Laxmi puja — a tradition dating to the Mughal-era revenue cycle. Processions, new clothes (new saree-panjabi), mishti doi and sandesh feasting. Rabindra Sangeet performances in West Bengal and Bangladesh alike. Dhaka and Kolkata both celebrate with grand processions.
