Reposted from @the_delights_bite - শুভ নববর্ষ!(Shubho Noboborsho)🌼🌺🌼 |*Panta Ilish(পান্তা ইলিশ)*| Bengali New Year or Pohela Boishakh (পহেলা বৈশাখ) is the first day of the Bengali calendar, celebrated in both Bangladesh and West Bengal, and in Bengali communities in Assam ,Tripura and Odisha and all over India!Poila Boishakh connects all ethnic Bengalis irrespective of religious and regional differences. The festival is one of celebration, but Pohela Boishakh has pragmatic beginnings. It began with Emperor Akbar, who developed the Bengali calendar over 400-years-ago as he extended Mughal control over much of what is now modern day Bangladesh. Originally the new calendar was intended as a way to instigate uniform tax collection across the land. To this day on Pohela Boishakh, Bengali accountants close their books on the old year and usher in the new one! Shubho Noboborsho to All Bengalis Out there!❤ #the_delights_bite #thedelightsbite .
