The Manipuri Raash Festival, celebrated in Bangladesh, is a vibrant and culturally significant event. It holds particular importance for the Monipuri indigenous people residing in the Sylhet city and Moulvibazaar district of the Greater Sylhet region. Also known as Sri Sri Moharaashleela, this religious festival has been observed since 1769 and continues to captivate not only the Monipuri community but also individuals from diverse religious backgrounds.
While the festival is organized in the Monipuri Royal Palace in Sylhet city, it is celebrated on an even grander scale in Madhabpur and Adampur, located in the Komalganj Upazilla of Moulvibazaar. The festival showcases the rich cultural heritage of the Monipuri people through elaborate puja pavilions adorned with a multitude of vibrant colors.
During the day, Monipuri children partake in the energetic 'cowboy' dance, adding to the festive atmosphere. At night, elegantly dressed young women from the Monipuri community engage in the mesmerizing raash dance, depicting the enchanting love story of Sri Krishna and Sri Radha as portrayed in the Mahabharata.
The raash festival takes place on the full-moon night of the Bengali month of Karthrik. Visitors to Sylhet during this time have the opportunity to witness the Monipuri Royal Palace and explore Monipuri-inhabited areas such as Shibganj and Masimpur, gaining a firsthand experience of the enchanting Monipuri raash festival.
