Jatrapala is a unique example of the folk culture of Bangladesh. Jatrapala is organized every year in our village. We all have a little fun together. The entire village gathers in one place and we all have a lot of fun together. We sing, play, dance all night long. Nowadays, Jatrapala is very rare, but in our area it is held every year. It is an ancient art form that is intertwined with the lives of the people of rural Bengal. Jatrapala is not just a means of entertainment, but it is an integral part of our culture.

The history of Jatrapala is quite old. Its origin is mainly from religious narratives and mythological stories. Jatrapala reached its peak of popularity in the late 19th century and early 20th century. At that time, Jatrapala troupes used to travel around and perform in different villages.

All the readers of Jatrapala are the children of our area. To protect all the mothers and sisters of the village, we, a few young volunteers, perform the duty of protecting them. So that there is no chaos. Our Jatrapala went on very well all night long, everyone enjoyed it very well.
