The people of Dhaka celebrate many festivals and cultural events that offer travellers a glimpse into the richness of traditional life. The Bengali New Year is celebrated in Bangladesh on April 14 and is known as ‘Pohela Baishkak’. The colourful festivities bring together people from all walks of life, to celebrate with loud and colourful parades. Usually on this day, everything is washed and cleaned; people bathe early in the morning and dress up in their best attire, before visiting family and friends.

Bangladesh has a large Muslim community and religious occasions such as Eid-ul-Fitr, and Eid-ul-Azha, the month of Ramadan, Shab-e-Qadr, and Shab-e-Barat are widely commemorated. Hindus living in Bangladesh celebrate Durga Puja, Kali Puja and Janmastami, whilst Buddhists celebrate Buddho Purnima and Christians come together to celebrate Christmas.

The majority of the important religious sites in Bangladesh are related to Islam and visitors may want to include a visit to Baitul Mukarram, the national mosque of the country. Additionally, the 16th century Bagha Mosque located southeast of Rajshahi is considered to be of great historical, religious and cultural value, even being depicted on the 50 Taka currency note of Bangladesh. Located just west of the historic Lalbagh Fort, the Khan Mohammad Mridha Mosque was completed in 1705 and is considered to be one of the cities most revered historical and architectural monuments, it is also a main centre for worship. The Dhakeshwari National Temple located in Dhaka is considered to be the most important place of worship for Hindus in Bangladesh. There are also several churches in Dhaka for the Christian community including the Archdiocese of Dhaka, Mary Queen of the Apostles and St. Christina.
