Please browse the facts and information that can help you gain a general understanding of Bangladesh, including its environment, people, culture, cuisine, and festivals. Bangladesh is a country in South Asia. It is bordered by India on all sides except for a small border with Burma (Myanmar) to the far southeast and by the Bay of Bengal. The name Bangladesh means "Country of Bengal" in the official Bengali language. Bangladesh is situated in the low-lying Ganges-Brahmaputra River Delta, also referred to as the Ganges Delta.

This delta is formed by the confluence of the Ganges (local name Padma or podds), Brahmaputra (Yamuna or Yamuna), Meghna rivers, and their respective tributaries. The Ganges unites with the Yamuna (main channel of the Yamuna) and later joins the Meghna to empty into the Bay of Bengal eventually. The alluvial soil deposited by these rivers has created some of the most fertile plains in the world. Straddling the Tropic of Cancer, the Bangladeshi climate is tropical, with a mild winter from October to March and a hot, humid summer from March to June. A warm and humid monsoon season lasts from June to September, supplying most of the country's rainfall. Cox's Bazar, located south of the city of Chittagong, boasts a beach that stretches uninterrupted for over 120 kilometers (75 miles), making it the longest beach in the world. 

The majority ethnic group of Bangladesh is the Bengali people. The remainder are mostly Bihari migrants and indigenous tribal groups. There are thirteen tribal groups located in the Chittagong Hill Tracts. A new state for an old nation, Bangladesh has a culture that encompasses elements both old and new.
