‘Hajaro Konthe Borshoboron’ returns to Rabindra Sarobar this Pahela Baishakh
The iconic Bengali New Year celebration “Channel i–Shurer Dhara Hajaro Konthe Borshoboron” is set to return on April 14 at 6 am at the capital’s Rabindra Sarobar.
After a three-year hiatus, the event is making a full-scale comeback, featuring thousands of voices welcoming the New Year 1432 through choral performances and cultural displays.
Artists from across the country, including indigenous performers, will participate. The celebration begins on April 13 evening with a traditional “Chaitra Sankranti” fair, featuring folk elements like nagor dola, lathi khela, and stalls selling local crafts and utensils.
Filmmaker and cultural advisor Mostofa Sarwar Farooki visited the venue on Monday (April 7) to inspect preparations. Officials from Dhaka South City Corporation, Channel i, and Shurer Dhara were also present. Farooki confirmed full cooperation from the Ministry of Cultural Affairs.
Previously held in front of the China-Bangladesh Friendship Conference Centre, the event now returns to its open-air format at Rabindra Sarobar with renewed energy and larger crowds expected.
