Insertion of hooks on the back for hanging from a spinning wheel attached with 'Charhak tree' on the occasion of Charak Puja at Dhamrai, Dhaka, Bangladesh on April 15, 2006. Bangladesh on April 2006. Charhak Puja is observed on the last days of the Bangla month of Chaitra (April) called Chatitra Sangkranti. Farmers celebrate during this festival with the devotees singing and dancing without any care. The Charak Puja is well-known for the rites of piercing the body with nails, and swirling from a high pole. A 'charhak tree' is built on the occasion, consisting of a long pole atop which a wheel is fixed. An ascetic devotee is hung from this wheel with a hook. The wheel then spins around with him at high speed. Small nails, at times red hot ones, pierce all parts of his body including his tongue. The devotee thus spinning spreads prasad (handmade sweetmeats blessed with chants) among the curious spectators and onlookers. At the root of the celebration of Charhak Puja is a belief in spirits and the cult of rebirth. Its rites suggest ancient ritual of human sacrifice.

The Rathayatra at Dhamrai is very famous because of a towering 60-feet chariot built by the Land lords (Zamindars) of Saturia Baliyati towards the middle of the 19th century. The 3-storied chariot needed 27 mounds of rope to drag it. During the War of Liberation, (1971) the chariot was burned down by the Pakistan army. A newly built chariot has now replaced the old one. A month-long fair is held at Dhamrai on the occasion of the Rathayatra. Devotees come from India and Nepal to pull the chariot. Rathayatra or chariot journey is an important Hindu festival, referring primarily to the journey of the God Jagannath or Vishnu to the sea. Dhamrai, Dhaka, July 5, 2006. (Source-Banglapedia).

A classroom of a non formal school, setup by BRAC, in Bangal Para, Dhamrai, Dhaka, Bangladesh. Education is fundamental to the development of Bangladesh. Among those who enter primary school, only 76% complete it. It takes them an average 6.6 years to do so. Six percent of children do not enroll, and 25% of those who do drop out. That means 30% of Bangladeshi children do not have a primary school education. Source: USAid Bangladesh. Local and foreign NGOs setup schools through out the country for community children to improvise the situation. (photo)
