The actual devotion of the Goddess Durga as stipulated by the Hindu scriptures falls in the month of Chaitra, which roughly overlaps with March or April and is called Basanti Durga Puja. This ceremony is not observed by many and is constrained to a handful in the state of West Bengal. The more popular form of Durga Puja is known as Sharadiya (Autumnal) Durga Puja. This is celebrated later in the year with the dates falling either in September or October.
so i think, bangladeshis also follow this...
Navarathri represents celebration of Goddess Durga, the manifestation of Deity in form of Shakti [Energy or Power]. The Navarathri festival or 'Nine Nights festival' becomes 'ten days festival' with the addition of the last day, Vijayadashami which is its culmination. On all these ten days, the various forms of Mother Mahisasura-mardini (Durga) are worshiped with fervor and devotion.[3]
