A Celebration of Unity

Pahela Baishakh represents the ushering in of another year in the Bangla Calendar. This day is of particular significance as it brings together not only Bangalis, but all the various communities and ethnic groups who call Bangladesh their home. It is a celebration that signifies religious harmony, tolerance and the advent of the Bangla New Year is one that culminates in carnivals, cultural programmes, rallies and food festivals.
