Bengali Hindus are a cultural and religious group primarily found in the eastern region of the Indian subcontinent, particularly in the state of West Bengal in India and Bangladesh. They are known for their rich traditions, vibrant festivals, and contributions to art, literature, and music. The Bengali language is a significant aspect of their identity, with many famous poets and writers, such as Rabindranath Tagore, hailing from this community. The majority of Bengali Hindus practice Hinduism, which influences their daily lives, rituals, and celebrations. Major festivals include Durga Puja, a grand celebration honoring the goddess Durga, and Poila Baisakh, the Bengali New Year. Their cuisine, characterized by rice, fish, and various spices, is also an essential part of their cultural heritage.
