Baul singers perform devotional music at the Padmahem Dham in Sirajdikhan Upazila, Munshiganj, during the annual Lalon Geeti Ashor. This vibrant gathering, held for over a decade, has evolved into a popular cultural fair celebrating the philosophy and spiritual songs of Lalon Shah. Musicians, mystics, and Lalon devotees from across Bangladesh join in this event, sharing soulful renditions of Baul music that preach unity, love, and humanism beyond the bounds of caste, creed, and religion. Munhiganj, Bangladesh.
