Once a vibrant part of Eid celebrations, the tradition of exchanging Eid greeting cards is now close to disappearing in Bangladesh.

In an effort to revive this nostalgic practice, five young men – Ashraf, Turjo, Rihan, Ayon and Hamim – have set up a small Eid card stall at Mirpur Housing Staff Quarter Colony in the capital.

They said Eid cards were once widely popular, especially in the busy markets of Old Dhaka, where people would crowd into shops ahead of Eid-ul-Fitr.

But during a recent visit, they found the tradition had almost vanished, with only a small number of cards still available.

After extensive searching, the group managed to collect a limited number of cards, while most of their collection was printed at local presses.

Through the initiative, they hope to revive the charm of handwritten Eid greetings and reconnect the younger generation with what was once a cherished festive tradition.
