different religions lives here with peace and harmony. Perhaps Bangladesh is
the only country of the world where every religion's festival days are
celebrated as government holidays. Some major religious and cultural festivals of
Bangladesh are listed below: Eid-ul-Fitr Eid-ul-Azha Eid-ul-Azha is the celebration of sacrifice. On the Eid day and two days after the Eid day, cows and goats are sacrificed for the satisfaction of Almighty Allah. This time also the roads and highways get overcrowded and it is recommended not to use the highways for about two weeks (one week before the Eid day and one week after the Eid day) during the Eid festival. Bangla New Year Day (Pohela Boishakh) Ekushey Boi Mela Omor Ekushey Boi Mela or Ekushey Book Fair is the national book fair which takes place during the whole month of February. This book fair commemorates the martyrs who sacrificed their lives on the 21st February of 1952 to full-fill their demand of establishing Bangla as one of the national languages of Pakistan. The book fair takes place in and around Bangla Academy located in the Dhaka University area. |
