History
According to the Hindu solar calendar, Bengal was celebrated twelve months ago. This solar eclipse begins in the Gregorian calendar in the middle of April. On the first day of the Hindu solar year, Assam, Bengal, Kerala, Manipur, Nepal, Orissa, Punjab, Tamil Nadu and Tripura were celebrated as an integral part of the culture for the first time. Now as the New Year has become a celebrated festival celebrated for the new year's inauguration, Was not there. Then the Bengali Happy New Year or Pahela Boishakh was celebrated as Arayush festival or seasonal festival. Then its main significance was farming. Since the age of technical application did not start, the farmers had to rely on the season.
After the establishment of the Mughal Empire in India, the emperors used to pay tribute to agricultural products according to the Hijri calendar. But since Hijri Sun is dependent on the Moon, it does not meet the agricultural yields. This forced the farmers to pay salts to Assamese farmers. Mughal emperor Akbar introduced Bangla to achieve the right to pay rent. He originally ordered to bring reforms in the old calendar. According to the order of the emperor, the renowned astronomer and thinker of Bengal, Fatehullah Siraji, built the rules of new Bengali based on solar year and Arabic hijri. The counting of the Bangla calendar began from 10th March or 11th March 1584. However, the counting system was implemented from Akbar's ascension (5 November, 1556). The name of this name was first known as Krishni Son, later Bangad or Bangla Year.
The festival of Pahela Baishakh began from the time of Akbar. Then everybody had to pay all the rent, fees and taxes in the last day of the month of Chaitra. The day after that, land owners of Pahela Boishak used to celebrate the residents of their respective regions with confectionery. Different festivals were organized on this occasion. This festival is turned into a social event, which has been transformed into the present stage. During this time, the main event of this day was to create a Halhata. Halhata is meant to be a new account book. Actually, the process of officially updating the shops' accounts on the first day of Halkat is Bengali. In the village, city or commercial area, at all places, new account books are opened by closing old year's accounts books. Shopkeepers celebrate their customers on the day of Halhuti. This practice is still very common, especially in gold stores.

In order to win the victory of the British during the First World War, arrangements were made to celebrate and celebrate the first year of Baishakh. Then in 1938 similarities were reported. Later, in 1967, the practice of the first Baishakh celebrations did not become very popular.
