The violence erupted from a dispute over loud music during a Bolbom pilgrimage procession in Kaptanganj Bazaar.
Nearly two dozen people, including security personnel, were injured in the clashes.
Authorities imposed an indefinite curfew across five market areas, effective from 7 am on Monday, banning all gatherings.
Protesters allegedly vandalized and set fire to houses, medical facilities, vehicles, and other property during the unrest.
