Chakma festivals

Chakma festivals are cultural celebrations that mark important events and seasonal changes within the Chakma community, an indigenous group primarily in Bangladesh and India. These festivals often involve traditional music, dance, rituals, and communal feasts that honor their heritage, religious beliefs, and agricultural cycles. Notable festivals include Biju, celebrating the harvest season, and Buddha Purnima, observing Buddha’s enlightenment. These events serve to strengthen community bonds, preserve language and customs, and express gratitude for nature’s bounty, reflecting their spiritual values and rich cultural identity.
