Sheikh Arif Bulbon :
Pahela Falgun, the first day of spring in the Bengali month of Falgun, was celebrated amid cheerful moments with flowers, poems, songs and dances. Basically it brings joys and colours both in nature and our life.
After the dryness of winter, new leaves start to come out again and the nature adorns the branches with new colourful flowers such as Shimul, Polash and Marigold. Especially the Krishnachura brings the news of spring first.
Everything in nature gives an impression of youthfulness or freshness, as if the nature takes a new birth.
Colourful flowers, melody of birds or a mild touch of the sunshine – everything will make you feel that springtime is nature’s festival.
The festival-loving Bangladeshi people welcome and celebrate this day with great joy, love and in a colourful manner. The blazing red and yellow are the representative colours of Pahela Falgun.
Bangalees embellish themselves with these two primary colours. Girls are dressed in Bashonti (yellow or orange) coloured sarees and adorning floral ornaments, while boys wear colourful panjabis to welcome the arrival of spring.
Bakultola of the Faculty of Fine Arts (Charukala) of Dhaka University is the centre point of the festival.
Thousands of young men and women gather in the morning and celebrate the day by singing songs, reciting poems and dancing.
The entire DU campus and on the Ekushey Boi Mela premises became the best places to hang out with friends, family members and beloved ones.
Pahela Falgun brings joy, colour and hope not only in nature, but also in the lives and minds of people of all ages.
This year Jatiyo Boshonto Utsab Udjapon Parishad arranged the main programmes of the day for around two decades.
The first phase of the daylong celebration began at 7:00am at the Faculty of Fine Arts (Charukala) of Dhaka University, followed by a colourful procession, dances and songs. n
