Festivals
in Bangladesh
Festivals
are the medium of entertainment for a culture and community. They are the
medium of social gathering too. They are the expression of joy, happiness, and
colorful mind.
Festivals are part and parcel of Bangladeshi art
and culture. In Bangladesh, we celebrate the most colorful festivals
throughout the year with great enthusiasm and in a befitting way. Here we can
see religious, social, cultural, agricultural, political festivals with great
delight and plenty of preparations. These festivals are the medium of social
gathering too.Bangladesh is a land of festivity. Muslims celebrate Eid-ul-Fitr,
Eid-ul-Azha, Eid-e-Miladunnabi, Muharram etc. Hindus observe Durga Puja, Kali
Puja, and Sarashwati Puja among others. Buddha Purnima is the biggest festival
for Bangali Buddhists,and Borodin (Christmas) is celebrated by the Christians.
People from several tribal communities also have their respective festival as
well. We also have several secular festivals. Pohela Boishakh is the biggest
among all the festivals in Bangladesh. This day People get into their best
attires, go out with friends or family, business men open their new book of
records and send sweets & fruits to their regular clients, cultural
organizations organize cultural programmes, students bring morning processions
called Probhat Ferry.Nobanno (New Rice) is another of our festivals, which is
strongly based in the rural Bangladesh. When the farmers get new rice, they
observe this day with Rice flour and sugar mixed in water and Puffed rice. We
also observe 21st February as Shahid Dibash (as observed worldwide as
International Mother Language Day), 26th March as Independence Day, and 16th
December as Victory Day.
