I am a follower of the Muslim religion, so I observe all Muslim religious festivals and national festivals. I especially give more importance to the observance of my religious festivals because, as a result of this, I obey the commands of the Creator, and it is good for us. Among them, one of my favourite festivals is Eid. On Eid, all our relatives get together, exchange gifts with each other, cook good food, invite and feed the poor, give charity, etc. On the other hand, I celebrate national festivals for love and affection towards my country. As a result, all the martyrs who fought for the country are honoured and celebrated, Which will give an idea about the history and culture as a learning subject for the next generation.

Winter Pitha is a traditional food of Bangladesh and West Bengal, which is mainly prepared during winter. These pitches are of various types and are usually prepared using ingredients such as rice flour, jaggery, coconut, milk, date juice etc. This festival is celebrated in winter in our countryside. Fresh paddy is brought home in the winter season, and a variety of bahari pithas are made from that paddy, such as puli pitha, vape pitha, coconut pita, date juice pita, jaggery pita and various sweets. Cultural programs are also organized. Which is a very enjoyable festival. This festival was once held in our college as well. Different types of pitches, different types of cooked food, sports events, cultural programs, etc. Which is a very happy and memorable festival.
