Bangladesh is full of all kinds of festivals. Muslims celebrate Ed-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 Bengali Buddhists, and Borodin (Christmas) is celebrated by the Christians. Apart from these religious and tribal celebrations they also have several donation festivals. Pohela Boishakh (Bangla New Year) is the biggest among all the festivals in Bangladesh. This day People get into really ice clothes, 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 (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. These seem like some pretty cool festivals. Would you go to one? I would.

ReplyDeleteHi Mireya Bangladesh sounds like a really cool city to visit. I found that the Pohela Boishakh Festival happens on the 14 of April. The next one will be April 14 2015 its the Bengali calendar. This festival is also celebrated in Australia, Sweden and the UK. I couldn't find how many people attend but I'm sure is a lot. The food there sounds really interesting as well Panta Ilish is a traditional platter. it looks really good to. Its a popular dish for the Poila Boishakh festival. You sure were right about all of these festivals looking pretty cool! In my opinion I would love to visit the Pohela Boishakh Festival. How about you?
