المعنى
The act of igniting something.
خلفية ثقافية
In villages, 'আগুন লাগানো' is often associated with 'Gramyo Rajniti' (village politics), where a single person's gossip can destroy family reputations. Many classic novels (like those of Sarat Chandra Chattopadhyay) use this phrase to describe the manipulative nature of certain characters in joint families. Fire is sacred in Hindu Bengali culture (Agni). While 'আগুন লাগানো' is destructive, 'অগ্নি সাক্ষী' (Fire as witness) is used for the sanctity of marriage. The phrase is now frequently used in political talk shows to describe 'provocative speeches' that lead to street protests.
Use for Drama
If you are watching a soap opera (Natok), listen for this phrase whenever a character gossips. It's the 'drama' keyword.
Avoid in Religion
Never use this for lighting incense or lamps in a temple; it sounds like you are trying to burn the temple down!

The 'Deowa' Boost
Add 'দেওয়া' (deowa) to make it 'আগুন লাগিয়ে দেওয়া' to sound more like a native speaker when describing an action that is finished.
Market Fire
If someone says 'Bajaare Agun', don't run for water; they are just complaining that fish is too expensive today.

You can, but 'Agun Dhorano' or 'Cigarette Jwalano' is much more common and natural.
'Lagano' implies applying fire to something else; 'Dhorano' implies making something catch fire. 'Lagano' is often used for bigger or malicious fires.
You say 'বাড়িতে আগুন লেগেছে' (Fire has caught in the house).
No, for passion, use 'আগুন জ্বলা' (fire burning) or 'উত্তাপ' (heat). 'Lagano' sounds too much like a fight.
