For Bengalis, Pahela Baishakh is more than just the first day of the year—it is a feeling, a rhythm of life that returns with colour, music, and the promise of renewal. Long before city processions and curated celebrations, the day lived in simpler, more intimate moments—village fairs, homemade delicacies, and shared joy.

Dhaka University is set to celebrate the Bengali New Year 1433 on Tuesday with elaborate programmes, as preparations across the campus have been completed in a festive atmosphere.
