Nabha Barsha marks the beginning of the New Year in Bengal. The day begins with prabhat pheris or early morning processions, songs and dance to welcome the new year. A dip in a river or tank is another feature of the occasion. Housewives make beautiful designs called Alpana on the floor of their houses with powdered rice.
