After saying goodbye to the season of Poush (winter), the Charukola premises at Dhaka University (DU) campus is being decorated in spring colours to celebrate the season of Falgun (spring).
A variety of events and arrangements are traditionally arranged by Charukola. Everyone anticipates the events. Despite the celebratory season, the events will not take place this year due to the pandemic.
Charukola (DU's Faculty of Fine Arts) Dean Nisar Hossain said that the national committees usually organize the festivals in the university premises.
"This year, the Spring Festival Committee contacted us but we could not give them permission due to the pandemic," he added.
The Boshonto Uthshob is traditionally celebrated on the first day of the Bangla month of Falgun.
Last year, Boshonto Utshob 1425 was celebrated at Bottola of Dhaka University. A huge crowd attended the event, wearing yellow sarees and punjabis, the traditional colors of spring. The event was organized by Samageet Sanskriti.
Spring, or Boshonto, evokes feelings of warmth and new beginnings. The slogan “Biborno prane esho boshonto abar” is used to celebrate every year.
