On the occasion of cultural diversity festival organized by the Chittagong Hill Tracts Affairs Ministry with the help of UNDP, a picture of the bathing of the elders was highlighted on the day of 'Phul Biju' in Rangamati's paintings.

Besides, on the day before Chaitra Sankranti, respecting elderly relatives and religious teachers, bathing, taking care of domestic livestock etc. are done with great importance. In fact, the practice of keeping Chaitra Sankranti as the center of the festival was not limited to only different hill communities. On the other hand, there were various cultural activities around different nationalities, including Bengalis, in other parts of the country, among which there were many different memoirs, including memorials of late relatives and predecessors.

It is to be noted that the end of Chaitra or the beginning of Baishakh for the farmers of this region is not always the time of abundance. Therefore, the 'vegetarian' diet was normal for the general farming families, However, on the day of Chaitra, the children will roam the new clothes, or according to the capability of the day of Pahela Baishakh, will be arranged with the help of relatives and friends, in many places also expected. However, how many classical or ancient traditions are these researchers? Throughout history, zamindars of this region used to celebrate 'Poonah' or 'festival' on the day of Pahela Baishakh, and traders organized 'Halhata'. In the context of these customs, the socioeconomic status of those whose positions are 'negative', they did not have the opportunity to celebrate the New Year with a sense of dhumdham. However, the practice of observing 'equanimity' in the form of feudal system and traditional astrology was introduced, the tiny sources of history are now past issues. Covering them now has created a place in the census of the populist 'innovative traditions' produced in the nationalist spirit, which have come into commercial cultivation and marketing, free market arrangements for new deposits. 'Pran's festival starts on the hill from Saturday.' From the kind of news headline (Prothom Alo, April 11, 2014), you have to read the matter of 'Pran' company. It is to be noted that those of the hilly who influenced traditional ideas (such as Khagrachari Tripura), they are performing various formalities in accordance with the traditional calendar, so that their 'sankranti' day and the end date of the Chaitra set by Bangla Academy may not match. Of course, most of the people who work in the hill country, most of them have become accustomed to celebrating 'Vaisabi' as the government holiday allotted on the occasion of 'Bangla Nababarsha'.
