Chattopadhyay

Dhaka Street on a Friday

Dhaka, Bangladesh

Friday prayer on the main

street of Dhaka, Bangladesh.

All traffics are suspended

during the afternoon prayer

as the main street is fully occupied

by the people. Dhaka

is known for cultural diversity

and religious tourism

and during Ijtema festival,

a huge number of Muslim

people come to the capital

of Bangladesh for religious

purpose. However, due to

unplanned urbanization, the

Government is not able to

accommodate these pilgrims

in a proper place, resulting

in the traffic suspension of

the city.
