Boisabi Fair Brings Color and Culture to Khagrachhari
  5, April, 2025, 3:36:59:PM

Khagrachhari is buzzing with celebration as the 15-day-long Boisabi Fair is underway, drawing people from all walks of life to experience the vibrant traditions of the hill communities. The festival, which began on March 28, will run until April 11, marking the most important cultural event for the indigenous groups of the Chattogram Hill Tracts.

The name Boisabi is a combination of the first syllables of three different new year celebrations: Biju (Chakma), Sangrai (Marma), and Boisu (Tripura). Though distinct in culture and customs, these festivals are united under the banner of Boisabi, celebrating diversity, harmony, and renewal.

Dr Sudhin Kumar Chakma, former principal of Khagrachhari Government College, explained that the Chakma people observe Biju during the last two days of the Bengali calendar year and the first day of the new year. Meanwhile, the Marma and Tripura communities celebrate Sangrai and Boisu with their own unique traditions.

"This is the biggest celebration in the hills," said Thoi Marma, President of the Bangladesh Marma Unity Council. "The fair, organized by the Boisabi Celebration Committee, is a joyful reflection of our rich cultural heritage."

The fair features a wide variety of attractions, including traditional clothing, handmade jewelry, locally crafted household items, and authentic hill cuisine. Each day also brings performances of indigenous music and dance, offering a taste of the region`s deep-rooted artistic traditions.

Khoni Ranjan Tripura, Convenor of the Bangladesh Tripura Unity Council, emphasized the spirit of unity that the festival fosters. "Boisabi inspires people to come together, work for the greater good, and embrace the strength of diversity."

According to Kiran Chakma, Joint Secretary of the celebration committee, the fair serves as a platform to preserve and share indigenous culture with future generations. "It`s about keeping our heritage alive while spreading joy among all visitors."

To ensure safety during the festivities, Khagrachhari`s Superintendent of Police, Jewel Arefin, assured that a comprehensive three-tier security plan had been implemented. He urged the community to support law enforcement by staying vigilant and sharing information when needed.

As the hills echo with laughter, music, and celebration, the Boisabi Fair stands as a proud symbol of cultural unity, resilience, and joy.
