Dhaka: With the beauty of autumn in nature, the main rituals of Sharadiya Durga Puja, the biggest religious festival of the sanatan community, begin on Sunday, the day of Maha Shashti.
According to Bangladesh Sangbad Sangstha, the cultural affairs ministry has created a video to greet the sanatan community on the occasion of Durga Puja. Additionally, for the first time in Bangladesh's history, the 'Sharadiya Cultural Festival 2025' is being organized this year on the occasion of Durga Puja. This initiative is led by the Ministry of Cultural Affairs and managed by the Bangladesh Shilpakala Academy.
The Ministry of Cultural Affairs had previously taken similar initiatives on the occasions of Eid and Buddha Purnima. This reflects the current government's cultural policy aimed at building an 'inclusive Bangladesh' after 2024.
