‘The Bangla Nabobarsho festival’ is also going to be celebrated at its traditional venue Ramna Batamul here.
This year, the first day of the Bangla calendar, will be celebrated following its all rituals at the venue along with bringing out the traditional ‘Mangal Shovajatra’ (procession) organized by the Fine Arts Faculty of Dhaka University.
But, due to the ongoing holy month of Ramadan, it will be celebrated on a limited scale.
