Pohela Falgun 2023: Images, SMS, Poster & Banner for Bosonto

Pohela means ‘first’ in Bengali, while Falgun or Fagun is the eleventh month of the Bengali calendar. Pahela Falgun is a colorful festival observed across the country with young girls and males attending various functions dressed in sparkling outfits.

Falgun is the eleventh month in the Bengali calendar and the first month of Spring, the king of all six seasons, which ushers in pleasant sunshine, blossoming flowers, and chirping birds.

In Bangladesh, the celebration is known as Basanta Utsab. New leaves emerge after the winter’s dryness, and nature decorate the branches with new vibrant flowers such as shimul, polash, and marigold.

Ladies who dress in ‘Bashonti’ attire worn these Spring flowers, which is predominantly yellow, orange, and red.

People dressed in yellow, orange, and other bright colors that represent the Bangla season Bashanto (Spring) are waiting in line to greet the season with flowers, poems, songs, and dances. The season continues throughout the following month, Chaitra, the Bengali year’s final month.

History of Pohela Falgun

What began as an unplanned Pahela Falgun celebration in 1991 has eternally linked a handful of students from Dhaka University’s Faculty of Fine Arts with affection and a memory that has grown into a larger event.

Some staff members bought saris on the eve of PahelaFalgun, the first day of spring on the Bangla calendar that year, and spent the night at Moitree Hall printing blocks on them. They wore the saris to faculty the next day. The Ekushey Boi Mela, which was taking place nearby, contributed to the fun.

Boys from batch 89 then joined the girls in a procession carrying flowers, butterflies, and birds created out of colored papers to commemorate the movement’s victory over the dictatorial dictatorship of HM Ershad a year earlier. They recited rhymes they had learned as children as they wandered about the campus. 

The next year, in 1992, students at the DU faculty organized a little program in which they placed abir on each other’s foreheads as a token of friendship, and in 1993, they celebrated Holi, a celebration of colors that heralds the advent of spring.

A few years later, students from the fine arts department and other departments began organizing cultural events to commemorate Pohela Falgun, when a Bangla year, like any other, prepares to conclude on a pleasant note.

The Falgun event was one of several endeavors by students of fine arts to preserve Bangalee rural traditions alive. Previously, Falgun had been all about wearing warm colors like yellow and orange in Bangladesh, as opposed to West Bengal in India.

Celebration of Pohela Falgun

Pohela Falgun is held at Dhaka University, which has traditionally been the cultural heartbeat of Dhaka city. The festival’s focal point is the Bakultola of Dhaka University’s Faculty of Fine Arts.

Thousands of young men and women assemble in the morning to sing songs, recite poems, and dance to commemorate the day. The Ekeushy Boi Mela grounds and the entire DU campus become the greatest spots to hang out with friends, family, and loved ones. 

For nearly two decades, the Jatiya Boshonto Utshab Udjapan Parishad has organized the day’s principal programs. Apart from regular activities, the Parishad organizes a variety of programs, including songs and poetry recitations.

Band concerts take place throughout campus, with a larger attendance expected later in the day. Various private institutions and colleges also hold events to commemorate the day. Every year, people across the country celebrate the day to welcome the ‘flower season,’ which represents youth, vigor, and love.
