Rakher Upobash, Kartik Brati or Rakher Upobash festival, takes in the vivid tapestry of faith and tradition woven into the fabric of Bengali Hindu culture. In Dhaka, Bangladesh, devotees gather at the Shri Shri Lokenath Brahmachari Ashram temple amid the flickering light of oil lamps and incense. Here they embarked on a spiritual journey to imitate the austerities and enlightenment of the 18th century saint, Baba Lokenath. By praying, fasting, and following long-standing customs, they seek heavenly blessings and protection from disasters, strengthening the bonds of community and tradition.

Biography

Actually there is nothing to say anything special about my self. When I was growing up I was fallen in love with Still Moment (Photography). It gives me challenge & adventure.It helps me to meet new people.And also gives chance to know how the world is going on with daily life. I think if I didn't take photography as my hobby I couldn't be matured like now I am.
