Poila Boishakh celebrated across City of Joy
The Statesman
|April 16, 2023
Braving the discomfort factor, thousands of people stood in queues at Dakshineswar and Kalighat temples to offer puja to celebrate Poila Boishakh, the Bengali New Year Day.
-
The authorities of both the temples had decided to open the gates to devotees from 5am so that they could offer the puja early.
Businessmen bought new accounts books and offered puja to Goddess Kali which is considered to be auspicious. Chief minister Mamata Banerjee along with her family members offered special puja at Kalighat temple yesterday, maintaining the age-old tradition of the Banerjee family.
Chief minister Mamata Banerjee greeted the people of West Bengal on this auspicious day. She tweeted: "On the occasion of Poila Boishakh, I extend my heartfelt greetings to all fellow residents. I wish the dawn of New Year brings an abundance of hope, happiness and health in your lives. Today let's commit to the inclusive welfare and development of society."
