Boishakhi Jewellery






Jewellery or jewelry is small decorative items worn for personal adornment, such as brooches, rings, necklaces, earrings, and bracelets. Jewellery may be attached to the body or the clothes, and the term is restricted to durable ornaments, excluding flowers for example. For many centuries metal, often combined with gemstones, has been the normal material for jewellery, but other materials such as shells and other plant materials may be used.

Most cultures at some point have had a practice of keeping large amounts of wealth stored in the form of jewellery. Numerous cultures move wedding dowries in the form of jewellery or create jewellery as a means to store or display coins. Alternatively, jewellery has been used as a currency or trade good .

Boishakh collection

In Bengali, Pohela stands for 1st and Boishakh is first month of the Bengali calendar.Bengali New Year is referred to in Bengali as "New Year" "First of Boishakh" Nobo means new and Borsho means year.

The Bengali calendar is loosely tied with the Hindu Vedic solar calendar, based on the Surya Siddhartha. As with many other variants of the Hindu solar calendar, the Bengali calendar commences in mid-April of the Gregorian year.

Pohela Boishakh is the day for cultural programs. Prayers are offered for the well-being and prosperity of the family. Young women clad in white saris with red borders and men clad in dhoti and kurta take part in the Probat Pheri processions early in the morning to welcome the first day of the year.

Pohela Boishakh celebrations also observe a day of cultural unity without distinction between class, race and religious affiliations. Of the major holidays celebrated in Bangladesh and West Bengal, only Pohela Boishakh comes without any preexisting expectations.









The Bangla new year is celebrated in cities such as Sydney, Melbourne and Canberra through Boishakhi Melas where people gather to celebrate the culture Bengalis through dances, fashion shows, stalls of art, music, clothing, food, etc.

Pohela boishakh

The Boishakhi Mela celebrated in London England, takes place across the area of Banglatown in the borough of Tower Hamlets in east London through Brick Lane to Weavers Fields and Allen Gardens in Bethnal Green. The event is a celebration of the Bengali New Year, with musical and cultural events held. It is the largest open-air Asian festival in Europe and the largest Bengali festival outside of Bangladesh.

The Boishakhi Mela was launched in Brick Lane and celebrations of the Bengali New Year have been celebrated by the Bangladeshi community in England since 1997. The original event based in Bangladesh and West Bengal is called the Pohela Boishakh. The festival was created for the purpose of the Bangladeshi diaspora living in the UK. It was organized by the local people, and is now managed by the Boishakhi Mela Trust Ltd, a non-profit organization.

 Pohela Boishakh is considered to be a celebration of life for the Bengalis. We like to have a lot of festivities for pohela boishakh both in terms of the lovely cuisine and the attires that we wear. As always Bdcost has arranged a great collection for the coming Pohela Boishakh.
