Bangladesh Festivals


In Bangladesh there are as many festivals as days in the year. All of these celebrations, festivals, and fairs are apart of the culture in this region. The amount of festivals in Bangladesh is honestly overwhelming. There is PAHELA BAISHAKH which is a sort of a Bengali new years. On this day the whole country is filled with colorful steamers and fun tournaments. Although the most popular is in Dhaka where at their Fine Arts School people compete in competition to make paper animals and mask figures. I think this is my personal favorite. But don't think that I am going to stop there. There is so many more holidays and festival that the people in Bangladesh celebrate. Including Eid-ul-fitr, Eid-ul-azha, Durga Puja, National mourning day, and even Christmas. What is you favorite Bangali festival?
