One of Bangladesh's oldest yearly celebrations is Shakrain Festival. In Bangladeshi culture, it is a well-known and noteworthy occasion. In Bangladesh, it represents harmony and camaraderie.

On the last day of the Bengali month Poush, Poush Sangkranti, a traditional Bengali celebration, is being celebrated. In Old Dhaka, the Shakrain Festival has been causing a stir on the same day. 

Every year, the Bengali community in Dhaka, Bangladesh celebrates Shakrain Festival, also referred to as Kite Festival and Ghuri Utsob, by flying kites. In the Bengali calendar, it happens around the end of Poush, the ninth month (January 14 or 15 in the Gregorian calendar). Poush Sangkranti (End of Poush) falls on this day.

The southern region of Dhaka is where Shakrain is primarily observed. Colourful kites were released from the older part of town's rooftops to kick off the festivities in the morning. People have been purchasing kites for Shakrain 15 days in advance of the main festivities. Each kite cost between five and sixty takas.

Each kite has a unique name that corresponds to its shape, size, and design, such as angry birds, hearts, goggles, squares, eyeballs, and so forth. The combat known as "Manja" is between children, youths, and middle-aged individuals from various neighborhoods. In old town, kite is referred to as "ghuddi." 

Old Dhaka's sky is illuminated with pyrotechnics as dusk sets. Additionally, people congregate on roofs where flame-eaters perform for them, showing off their fire-manship.On the roofs, people were entertained by persons breathing fire. The entire city was woken by loud music, regardless of its genre or language, as people started dancing and never missed a beat. It's a day that thousands of people look forward to each year, since it brings them together for competition and pleasure.

Most people in old Dhaka enjoy this occasion. The primary locations of the celebration are Ganderia, Tatibazar, Laxmibazar, Chawkbazar, Lalbagh, and Sutrapur, which are accessible by car, bus, CNG, and rickshaw.
