Bangladesh is a country where colorful festivals are held all over the year in be suitable manner and with great passion and enthusiasm. With changes in social and economic structure, the nature of festivals also changes. But some festivals are so deep-rooted in the social organism that they continue to entertain people from generation to generation. Some of the festivals bear the mark of the society and nation, some have the stamp of religion, and again some bear the impress of politics. Festivals, which evolved in the primeval society out of the prayer for food, have now become varied and colorful. Many of the rituals were related to cultivation and their dates were determined according to the lunar calendar. The ancient rituals were miraculous processes to tame supernatural powers; in subsequent cultures, this characteristic feature was usually retained.
