Once again spring has come with beauty, rejuvenating nature and the enchanting sound of Cuckoo, but this year it also has brought the essence of love with it.
Bangladeshis are celebrating Falgun with Valentine’s Day on Monday this year (2022).
Falgun and Valentine’s were also celebrated together in 2021.
Pohela Falgun which had been usually celebrated on February 13 every year shifted to the 14th in 2019.
It was merely our dependence on the Gregorian calendar that led to this day always being celebrated on a fixed date.
On the other hand, if we look at the Bangla calendar, Pahela Falgun has actually fallen on February 14.
However, the day matters nothing much to the city dwellers. A large number of couples and also the city dwellers celebrated the day before it arrives.
Valentine's and Falgun together have brought a huge change in the ambience and the appearance of the city. With the embellishment using flowers, the city seems like a colourful bouquet.
Flower sellers who were in loss due to the pandemic are getting an opportunity to cover up some of the losses through these occasions.
Unseasonal rains caused hamper to flower production in the country and due to this, the production has decreased.
However, demand for flowers has increased as two days are being celebrated together.
TV channels are telecasting various shows and telefilms to celebrate the two occasions.
People all over the country are celebrating the days together as they rarely got this kind of opportunity to celebrate in the last two years as the country was dealing with the Covid-19 pandemic.
