The History and Symbolism of Boishakhi Sarees
Boishakhi sarees are deeply intertwined with Bengal’s history. Originating during Mughal rule, Pohela Boishakh became a symbol of cultural resistance and pride. The red-and-white saree, inspired by the Bengali flag, represents purity (white) and vitality (red), reflecting the spirit of new beginnings. Traditional motifs like Alpana patterns, lotus flowers, and paisleys pay homage to Bengal’s agrarian roots and artistic heritage. Over generations, these sarees have evolved into a unifying symbol, worn by women across Bangladesh to celebrate resilience, community, and identity.
