Pahela Falgun:
In Bangladesh, the spring season is celebrated with the festival of Pahela Falgun, which usually falls on the 13th of February. Pahela Falgun marks the beginning of the spring season and is celebrated with great enthusiasm and joy across the country.
On this day, people wear colorful traditional dresses and gather in public places, especially in the capital city of Dhaka. Women wear sarees in shades of yellow, orange, and red, while men wear panjabis, a traditional long shirt. Flowers, especially marigolds and daisies, are used to decorate homes and public spaces.
Music, dance, and other cultural programs are organized to mark the occasion. People sing and dance to the tune of traditional folk songs and enjoy various traditional foods, including pitha, a type of cake made of rice flour and coconut.
Pahela Falgun also has a special significance for young couples, who use this occasion to express their love and affection for each other. They exchange flowers and gifts and spend time together in parks and other public places.
Overall, Pahela Falgun is a time for joy and celebration, marking the end of the cold winter months and the beginning of the colorful and vibrant spring season in Bangladesh.
