Poila Boishakh is also known as Noboborsho, or Bengali New Year, as it is the first day of the first month of Boishakh in the Bengali calendar. Poila Boishakh is a national holiday and in West Bengal it is a public holiday. This day is a very festive time for Bengalis. This day being auspicious, new businesses and new ventures are started. The Mahurat is performed, marking the beginning of new ventures. Poila Baishakh bears immense significance in the life of all Bengalis. It marks as a new beginning, a new hope, a year full of joy, well-being and prosperity. Bengali's special occasion is always incomplete without sweet preparation. I decided to make 'Chanar Payesh' for this special occasion.
