Cumilla District, Administrative district in Chattogram Division, Bangladesh
Cumilla is an administrative district in Chattogram Division that stretches between the Meghna and Gumti rivers and includes seventeen sub-districts. The landscape consists mainly of flat plains and agricultural land, dotted with small villages and markets.
The district was founded in 1790 as Tippera during the rule of the British East India Company. After the independence of Bangladesh in 1971, it received its current name and remained an important administrative center.
Residents keep alive traditional folk music forms such as Palli Geeti and Bhatiyali, which tell stories from rural life. These songs are often performed at local festivals and gatherings, with melodies that follow the rhythm of the seasons.
The city of Cumilla serves as the administrative center and provides access to government offices and transport links to surrounding regions. Buses and minibuses run regularly between the sub-districts, making it easier to move around the area.
In some villages, traditional weaving workshops are still operated, where craftsmen produce fabrics on wooden looms. These workshops are often located along main roads and can be observed by visitors who want to follow the production process.
