Pahela Falgun usually falls on February 13 but this year it coincided with Valentine’s Day as Bangla Academy revised Bangla Calendar to match it with the Gregorian calendar and cultural attractions like the ongoing Dhaka Art Summit (DAS) - 2020 draws a large number of visitors, as a result.

The celebration of Pahela Falgun, the first day of spring, Valentine’s Day added colour to the Amar Ekushey Book Fair on Friday, turning it into a meeting  place for thousands people of all ages.
