Valentine's Day in Bangladesh

In Bangladesh, Valentine's Day has been celebrated since the 1990s. On the day, people, especially the young, exchange various greeting cards, flowers, chocolates or gifts. Despite widespread celebrations, the country's conservative society views the celebration of the day as un-Islamic subculture, often considered as part of the Western culture. From 2020 onwards, Valentine's Day has coincided with the Pohela Falgun celebration in Bangladesh.
