There is a district in Bangladesh namely Barisal where Bhut Chaturdashi is celebrated in Shamshashan ( Burial Place) with great pomp and splendor every year . The descendants or relatives of dead people come and light the tomb with candle at the evening like we light our house at the time of Dewali.
