Some aspects are also taken from early few days of sankranti, namely, tushtoshali (তুষ-তোশালী) brata, where husk of new rice, brinjal leaves, mustard, radish, and flat bean flower is needed.

This festival known also as poush parban and pitha parab (পরব) is held on the last day of the Bengali calendar month poush (middle of December to middle of January). Poush parban are a wonderful mixture of several traditions that originated from rites and celebrations that were held to keep the agricultural gods and the goddess of wealth and prosperity happy.

This ritual leading up to eat first crop in a modest community event, a preparation - Nabanna, that is still used today in ritual offering seems to date back to Vedic times. The rite has a part to give respect to our real feeder – the earth and the farmers. At one time, this ceremony could draw the whole community engagement into a celebration as elaborate as described here. The tradition stems from the Vedic period due to their dietary habit. The cultivation of rice was widespread throughout the fertile plain of the Ganges. It is a time of joy as the smell of newly harvested crops rise into the air, and rice paste is used to decorate gardens and homes. It is therefore a new crop celebration, as the name describes, with Nava meaning new and Anna being a word referring to grain. It used to be a massive event that began before sunrise and would involve the entire community, even the children, who recited rhymes. In Bengal Nabanno (নবান্ন) festival was celebrated to ensure good crops and healthy livestock for the coming year.
