In Bangladesh Ogrohayon is celebrated as the month of the main rice harvest of the year.

Ogrohayon (Template:Lang-bn Ôgrôhayôn) or alternately spelled Agrahayan is the eighth month in the Bengali calendar.[1][2] It is the second of the two months that make up the Dry season, locally called "Hemanta" (Template:Lang-bn Hemôntô).[3] It is commonly believed that this month is very auspicious for marriage. The month is named after the star Mrigashīra (Template:Lang-bn Mrigôshira). The first day of the month is the Nabanna harvest festival.[4][5]
