কৃষকের ঘরে নতুন ধান, মুখে হাসি আর উৎসবের গান!

Shuvo Nabanna! Join us in celebrating Pohela Agrahayan, the auspicious first day of the Bengali month of Agrahayan, marking the cherished Nabanna festival in Bangladesh! This is the day when farmers joyfully bring home the freshly harvested Aman season's indigenous paddy.

Our video takes you deep into the heart of this vibrant celebration, focusing on a unique Nabanna festival at the Natural Agriculture Center in Manikganj. We explore how, on this special morning, farmers traditionally thresh the paddy, extract the new rice, and prepare the quintessential "Nabanna" dish: uncooked beaten rice mixed with banana, coconut water, and sugar. Beyond this main dish, the air fills with the aroma of various Pitha-Puli, Payesh, Semai, and Khichuri, embodying the rich Bengali culinary heritage.

This is more than just a feast; it's a grand gathering! Relatives from far and wide, farmers from across Bangladesh, and civil society members converge at the Natural Agriculture Center. The festival comes alive with lively music, traditional songs, and cultural performances, creating an atmosphere of pure joy and community spirit. Our video captures the festive mood and highlights the significance of natural farming in preserving this vital tradition.

Tune in to witness the vibrant culture of Bangladesh, the importance of sustainable agriculture, and the unifying power of our harvest festival. This is a tribute to Bangladeshi farmers and their unwavering connection to the land!
