Gandhi Ashram and Bengal Relief Committee, a registered institution (Naogaon-172), under the Social-Welfare Ministry of Bangladesh, is situated within 200 meters of Ahsanganj Railway Station in Atrai Upazila of Naogaon district. A statue of Mahatma Gandhi was installed at the T-intersection near the ashram. The statue was inside an iron grill in the middle of a square surrounded by several cement benches.

Among these, hajj depends on physical and financial capacity and zakat depends on financial capacity. The other three pillars are related to the physical capacity of the devotee. The literal meaning of the word 'Eid' is joy. Fasting was observed even before it became obligatory in Islam. However, it was not so blessed.
