Bangladesh: Celebration of Traditional Water Festival (Sangrai) in Kaptai

Md Zakir Hossain

Sangrai is the name of the New Year celebration of the Bangladeshi Marma and Rakhine ethnic groups, which is celebrated from April 13 to 15 every year. Although it is one of the main traditional ceremonies of the Marmas, the Rakhine also celebrate the New Year with their own rules.
