The traditional Dashahara Ganga Bath festival of the Sanatan Hindu community was held on the banks of the Pagla River at Kansat in Shibganj upazila of Chapainawabganj. From early Wednesday morning, thousands of devotees from different districts gathered to take part in the ritual bath seeking purification and spiritual renewal. The daylong event featured worship of Goddess Ganga, prayers, recitation of the Gita, and devotional songs.
As in previous years, the festival took place at the end of the Bengali month of Jaishtha, drawing large crowds to the Ganga Ashram and Gujarghat areas. Alongside the bathing rituals, a rural fair was organized featuring stalls selling cosmetics, wooden furniture, clay items, religious materials, and food. The kirtan performances added a festive atmosphere to the occasion.
Organizers said the event has been celebrated at this site since ancestral times, maintaining religious tradition and community participation. Local authorities and police ensured maximum security, deploying volunteers, village police, and law enforcement teams to manage the crowd and maintain order throughout the festival.
