Chhayanaut, the country’s esteemed cultural organisation, welcomed the Bangla Nababarsha, the first day of the Bangla New Year, with its flagship traditional cultural festivity at the Ramna Park in the capital this morning.
As dawn broke, Chhayanaut’s artists sang in unison and recited poetry from the stage beneath the Ramna Batamul (Banyan tree at Ramna Park), welcoming the Bangla New Year.
Aiming to convey a message of hope, resilience, and renewal, Chhayanaut has chosen ‘Amar Mukti Aloy Aloy’ – ‘My liberation lies in light’ – as the theme for this year’s Bangla Nababarsha celebration.
The festivity began at 6:15am on a semi-circular stage measuring 72 feet in length and 30 feet in width, stretching from east to west at Ramna Batamul.
Audiences from every part of the capital gathered for the celebration even before dawn, singing and dancing to welcome the new Bengali calendar year heralding good tidings.বিস্তারিত
