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.
