خلفية ثقافية
The 'Pujor Chuti' is the most significant time for 'chuti katano.' It involves wearing new clothes and visiting temporary temples (pandals). During Eid, there is a massive migration from Dhaka to rural areas. 'Chuti katano' here is synonymous with 'going home.' The concept of 'Adda' (long, informal conversations) is a core part of how holidays are spent. It's not a holiday without a good Adda. Staycations in eco-resorts near the city are becoming a popular way to 'chuti katano' for busy professionals.
