Ilish is the National Fish of Bangladesh.[ In many Bengali Hindu families a pair of ilish fish are bought on auspicious days, for example for special prayers or puja days like for the Hindu Goddess of music, its very tasty with panta vat...art and knowledge Saraswati Puja, which takes place in the beginning of Spring or on the day.... which takes place in autumn. Some people offer the fish to the goddess Lakshmi, without which the Puja is sometimes thought to be incomplete. In Bengal Ilish is also used during wedding as tattwa gift. During Gaye Holud tattwa the family of the groom presents a pair of Ilish to the family of the bride. However, due to the scarcity of Ilish, nowadays it is often replaced by Rohu in West Bengal, while the tradition continues in Bangladesh

Panta Ilish - a traditional platter of Panta bhat with fried Ilish slice, supplemented with dried fish, pickles, dal, green chillies and onion - is a popular serving for the Pohela Boishakh festival.
