Pahela Boishakh is a running culture in Bangladesh. It is the first day of Bangla(a language)New Year. On this day, people eat panta bhat(watery rich) with Hilsa fish, bhorta( a raw dish made by potato, pepper & salt). They pass the day happily. Some of the people believe that if they are happy in different activities on that day, they will be happy all the year round.

I think you mean a tradition.

The first day of the new year is usually called New Year's Day here. It's a public holiday.
