Like previous years, the world's search engine giant is celebrating Pahela Baishakh, the first day of the Bangla new year 1428, by replacing its regular home page graphic with a special doodle.

The doodle, mask of Mangal Shobhajatra for the Bangladeshi surfers, has been on Google’s homepage since early Wednesday. 

In the Doodle, Google depicts the image of painting crafty masks based on culture and tradition.

Pahela Baishakh celebrations started during Mughal Emperor Akbar’s reign, when it was customary to clear all dues on the last day of the Bangla month Chaitra as businessmen would open “halkhata”- new books of accounts for the new year.

Google Doodle is a special, temporary alteration of the logo on Google’s homepage that is intended to celebrate holidays, events, achievements and people. The doodle was introduced in 1998.
