As the morning light spreads over the fields of Panchgaon in Moulvibazar's Rajnagar upazila, crowds gather before the centuries-old "Lal Durga" mandap—home to Bangladesh's only red-hued idol of Goddess Durga. For over three centuries, the red idol, known as "Lal Durga", has been the spiritual centre of the region's Hindu community, drawing devotees during the Sharadiya Durga Puja. Sanjay Das, a sixth-generation descendant of saint Sarbananda Das, said similar idols are only found in Assam's Kamakhya. The legend traces back to Sarbananda Das, a munshi in Assam's Sivasagar, who reportedly had a divine encounter at Kamakhya Temple over 300 years ago. During the festival, Panchgaon transforms into a hub of devotion and festivity.
