Bengali New Year 1432 Celebration, Times Square, NYC I টাইমস স্কয়ারে বাংলা নববর্ষ ১৪৩২ উদযাপন This video focuses on Bengali New Year/Pohela Baishakh celebration in NYC. The Bengali New Year starts with the 1st day of 1st month of Baishakh of the Bengali solar calendar. It is known as Pohela/Poila (=first) Baishakh (=1st month of Bengali calendar) or Noboborsha (Nobo= New, Borsha= Year). Traditionally, Bengalis greet each other saying শুভ নববর্ষ (Shubho Noboborsha which is literally "Happy New Year") on this day. It is observed with vibrant festivities like rally (Mangal Shobhajatra), fair, traditional delicacies like panta ilish and devotional prayers to Lord Ganesha (The remover of obstacles) and to Goddess Lakshmi (The Goddess of wealth and prosperity) seeking blessings for a new year of success, while homes and businesses are often decorated with Alpona. It is a festival based on the spring harvest. Bengali farmers pray to God on the auspicious occasion of Pohela Baishakh for blessing them with a good harvest. Pohela Baishakh is celebrated on 14 April in Bangladesh and on 15 April in The Indian states (West Bengal, Tripura, Assam, Jharkhand) and among Bengali community worldwide. Different countries of South East Asia observe the new year around the same day, including Laos, Vietnam, Cambodia, Thailand and Sri Lanka. Different theories are there regarding history and origin of Bengali calendar. According to Drik Panchang, 7th-century Indian King Shashanka of ancient Bengal is credited with starting the Bengali era. Invader mughal ruler Akbar followed Hijri calendar (lunar calendar) which did not coincide with the solar agricultural cycles. Akbar asked the royal astronomer Fathullah Shirazi to create a new calendar by combining the solar Hindu calendar and lunar Islamic calendar to collect taxes conveniently from the vulnerable Bengali farmers and this was known as Fasholi shan/shon (harvest calendar). The term "Bangabda" (Bangla year) is found in two Shiva temples many centuries older than Akbar era, suggesting that Bengali calendar existed before Akbar's time. Bengali is the world's 6th most spoken language and New York City has the largest congregation of Bengali speaking citizens globally outside of West Bengal and Bangladesh. Muktadhara Foundation, a New York based organization is dedicated to the promotion of Bengali culture since late 1990s in Queens and in Times Square, Manhattan since 2022. The legislative body of the New York state (Senate) has passed a resolution (Senate Resolution No. 234) this year (2025) proclaiming 14th April as Bangla New year Day in the State of New York. #laclassictwins #twinsinnewyork #nyc #noboborsho #timessquare
