Dhaka bathes in festive glory as Nabami shimmers with sacred rhythmsPuja pavilions across Dhaka have burst into colour and rhythm, as Nabami ushers in a crescendo of devotion, music and sacred offerings. With evening Arti complete, a note of parting lingers in the air, signalling the final chapter of the Sharadiya festival. According to Hindu Sanatan scriptures, King Sri Ramachandra performed Nabami Puja after slaying Ravana. The Nabami Bihita Puja involves yajna and offerings of neelkantha flowers. The Ministry of Cultural Affairs hosted a Sharadiya cultural festival at the Nandan Mancha in Segunbagicha in the evening.
