त्योहार
| त्योहार | कब | क्या होता है |
|---|---|---|
| Bonbibi Puja | Magh (January–February), around the first days of the month | The region's principal festival, held at village shrines and at forest entry points. Clay images of Bonbibi, Shah Jangali, Dukhey and Dakshin Rai are installed, a villager rather than a priest officiates, and Hindu and Muslim households of the same village attend the same shrine. In many places an all-night Bonbibi Pala follows. |
| Bonbibi Pala performances | Through Magh and Phalgun, and at fulfilled vows | All-night dramatisations of the Johuranama in village yards, staged by local troupes. Attendance is a communal obligation as much as an entertainment, and the performance is timed to end at dawn. |
| Gangasagar Mela | Makar Sankranti, mid-January | A bathing fair at Sagar Island drawing pilgrims in the millions across a few days, to an island with no bridge to it. The logistics — ferries, temporary townships, a whole shore rebuilt each January — are as remarkable as the observance. |
| Manasa Puja | Sraban (July–August) | The snake goddess is worshipped seriously in a place where snakebite is a real cause of death in the monsoon, and the Manasa Mangal narrative is sung. This is an older cult than the Bonbibi one and is not in competition with it. |
| Gazi Pir's urs and Gazir Gaan | Varies by shrine, largely in the dry season | Observances at shrines to Gazi Pir, attended by both Hindu and Muslim villagers, with scroll-painting narration of the saint riding a tiger. The same shared devotional pattern as the Bonbibi cult, in an older form. |
| Durga Puja and Kali Puja | Ashwin and Kartik (September–November) | Observed on the islands as across the delta, though on a village rather than a city scale, with idols brought in by boat from the mainland workshops. The immersion is into a tidal creek, which requires timing the ceremony to the tide. |
| Nabanna and the aman harvest | Agrahayan (November–December) | The single main rice harvest, and the household observance of cooking the first new rice before anyone eats it. In a one-crop economy this is a more consequential moment than it is upriver. |
| Rash Mela at Bakkhali and the winter fairs | Kartik Purnima (November) | Fairs at the market towns and beach settlements in the dry season, with jatra troupes, traders and cattle. They are the region's main commercial gatherings as well as its social ones. |
