The Telegu tribe doing a festival with a dead person. Telegu is the smallest community found in Dhaka city. In Dhaka, they are the third class citizens and known as "sweepers", doing the cleaning all day long. They are also called "Horizon" or “Dalito”, because they are living in a colony and living in a small room with so many people. And their women are busy fetching water from morning to night. The health, wealth and education is not important to them but they celebrate different kinds of worships in the whole year, including the festival for a dead person.
