Pohela Boishakh
Every year, on the first day of the year, Bengalis all over Bangladesh and India celebrate Pohela Boishakh–the Bengali New Year. This day is filled with food, songs, new saris, etc. However, one tradition that I learned about during my recent trip to Dhaka, Bangladesh was that of ‘Hal Khata’. Hal Khata, which literally translates to ‘New Notebook’ in Bangla, is a custom in which jewelry buyers pay up all their debts to jewelry stores on Pohela Boishakh. In order to show their appreciation, jewelry stores invite their customers for a feast on Pohela Boishakh, which occurs mid-April of every year.
