Guest guest Posted April 13, 2002 Report Share Posted April 13, 2002 Its bengali new year too !!!!!Poila Baishakh or the 1st day of the first month of Bengali calender.It ushers the begining of agricultural season of Bengal.The first day is reffered as "poila baishakh". Its also "akshay Tritia" or Ganesh Vandana in Bengal.Many opt to start new business and the ceremony of "halkhata" or the start of a new audit book is performed.Since it is the begining of the new year the worship of Lord ganesh and devi lakshmi takes place. The tradition is to then welcome customers with offerings of sweets and new bengali calenders are also given. All the best in the new year and the years to come. love Chumki.
