Summary[edit]
| Description |
English: Hindu Devotees took part in the annual Lal Kach (Red Glass) festival in Munshiganj, Bangladesh to welcome Bangla new year. During the Hindu Lal Kach festival, children and men paint themselves with red color and attend a procession holding swords as they show power against evil and welcome the Bengali New Year. The Lal Kach festival is well known for the local community for more than hundred years. As the month of Chaitra, the last in the Bangla year, draws to an end, the Hindu community comes together in a festival dedicated to the worship of Lord Shiva and Parvati. The festival is locally known as “Lal Kach” (red glass). The central idea behind this program is for a group of soldiers led by Shiva to appear on earth with a mission: ward off the forces of evil. These soldiers, glowing in the divine light of Shiva, march towards nearby temples. It is all part of a very long tradition going back hundreds of years. The Hindus, especially the young, paint themselves in red, take up swords, bring out processions and dance. |
