Bedeutung
Being extremely angry, like fire.
Kultureller Hintergrund
In 19th-century Bengali literature, 'অগ্নিশর্মা' was frequently used to describe the 'Rudra' (fierce) aspect of characters. It often appears in the works of Bankim Chandra Chattopadhyay. The concept of 'Agni' (Fire) as a witness to truth means that 'Agni-sharma' anger is often associated with righteous indignation—anger that comes from seeing a truth violated. Bengali news channels use this idiom in 'scrolls' (the text at the bottom of the screen) to make political news sound more dramatic and engaging. While the idiom is common, being 'অগ্নিশর্মা' in public is generally frowned upon in middle-class Bengali society, where 'shobhyota' (civility) is highly valued.
Use with 'হওয়া'
Remember that this is almost always used with the verb 'হওয়া' (to be/become).
Not for objects
Never use this to describe a hot curry or a hot day. It's only for people's tempers!

Journalistic Flair
If you are writing a formal essay or a report, using 'অগ্নিশর্মা' instead of 'খুব রাগী' will instantly make your Bengali sound more advanced.
Body Language
When someone is 'অগ্নিশর্মা', they often have a 'stiff' body and a red face. Use this idiom to describe that specific look.
