Bengal region has a multifaceted culture due to the influence of
Buddhist, Hindus and Muslim cultures. Though the country is Muslim
dominated, Hindus too celebrate their festivals with gaiety.
Of course, the pomp and show of Holi as witnessed in India is missing,
nevertheless, celebrations do take place. Hindu community gather in temples
and exchange greetings with each other and play with colours.
Indian culture has influenced Bangladesh a lot as the country is nestled in
the crook of the Bay of Bengal and is surrounded by India. It shares a
border in the south-east with Myanmar and fronts onto the Bay of Bengal. The
country is flat and dominated by the braided strands of the
Ganges-Brahmaputra-Jamuna delta. Bangladesh's Muslims and Hindus live in
relative harmony.
