Shahrasti Kalibari Vibrant with Shyama Puja and Diwali

Devotees and pilgrims from various parts of the country have gathered at the traditional Sri Sri Meher Kalibari in Shahrasti, Chandpur, centering the Shyama Puja and Diwali festival of the Hindu community. Known as the largest Kalibari in Asia, puja and festival are held here every year on the new moon tithi of Kartik month.

Alongside the religious events, a month-long traditional Kalibari fair has been set up at the adjacent Nizmehar Pilot High School ground. The fair features children's toys, furniture, household goods, agricultural equipment, and various food stalls. According to tradition, worship takes place at the jinn tree altar without any idol of Goddess Kali.
