Shakrain Festival in one of the oldest annual festivals of Bangladesh. It’s famous and a very important event in Bangladeshi culture.

Shakrain is widely celebrated in and around the southern Bangladesh city of Dhaka As part of the celebration, colourful kites are flown high from the rooftops around the area in the afternoon. It often takes the form of kite fighting, in which participants try to snag each other’s kites or cut other kites down.

When night falls, fireworks light up the sky of old Dhaka. Flame-eaters also gather on the roofs to entertain watching people with their skills of manipulating fire.
