 The old mosque, inside Lalbagh Fort, in Old Dhaka by janchan The southern part of Dhaka, near the river is the old core of the city. Here is Lalbagh Fort, began in 1678 by prince Azam, son of the Mughal Emperor. Bangladesh was under the Mughal domination for more than a century, when most of the people had been converted to Islam.

 The bride smiled after the photo was taken!!! by Saagar Staying at a hotel or near a fancy restaurant you will inevitably see crowds attending weddings during the right season. If the party managers spot you and you seem to be an ok person, the chances are you will be invited to the wedding. Go! You'll get to meet the bride and the groom and the extended family, too.

 Rangamati rower by Saagar The small rowing boats used at the Rangamati reservoir are seemingly miniatures of the larger ocean-going sailing vessles used in Bangldesh. They look very sturdy and safe. The way they are being rowed is also interesting; the rower faces forward, standing and more or less pushes with the oars, not pulls as one normally does. A sort of Bangladeshi gondola? Good for boating trips on the reservoir, too. Leave a Comment Directions: Rangamati, the little harbour in the town.

 Ship tarring, Cox's Bazaar by Saagar Cox's Bazaar harbour must be one of the most facinating in Bangladesh. It has immediate access to the salt water sea off the delta and the fish catch brought in here is very diverse. It is also a ferry harbor with ships and smaller boats plying the islands to the north and along the inner channel to Chittagong. Small boat repairs and maintenance happens inbetween all this activity and adds to making this harbour worthy an early morning visit, when the activity is at a peak. Leave a Comment

 Fishing boats, Cox' Bazaar by Saagar Early in the morning the fish catch is landed at the Cox's Bazaar harbour. It is worthwhile getting up early to see what (used to) move about underwater, and what you can expect to see pn the menue of the day. Leave a Comment

 Guitar fish by Saagar Early, early monring, go down to the Cox's Bazaar harbour and watch the sea fishermen come in with their catch. There are some amazing catches coming in. I was lucky to see this guitar fish of about 2 1/2 meters' length being hauled out of the boat. Leave a Comment Directions: Cox's Bazaar harbout, just north of the centre of town - walking distance.

 Rickshaw back panel by Saagar Every one of the millions of rickshaws in Bangladesh is decorated with paintings depicting romantic scenes and versions of physical paradises. Some is plain kitsch, other stuff may be worth a closer study and is real art. If you turn right on your way down to Sadarghat in Dhaka, just before the harbour area you will find the rickshaw painters' areas and workshops. You can also buy a panel with real rickshaw art. If you have a deeper interest, read the book Chasing Rickshaws from Lonely Planet. Leave a Comment

 Boat building on the Karnaphuli by Saagar There is a ship yard for building wooden, traditional boats on the Karnaphuli River along the way from the city centre toward the airport. Interesting to see how they are made, well worth a stop and a closer look at this wooden boatbuilder tradition. Leave a Comment Directions: On the road to the airport or beach of Chittagong, past the industrial south part of town and just after you have come to the river embankment.

Go to Old Dhaka to experience what a crowd is like. Bring your camera, some small cash and a smile. You'll get stuck, and you'll get many new friends. You can visit some snack and street food stalls, have a tea, and just experiencing the swirling humanity around you as you try to move towards Sadarghat. Rickshaw and car traffic jams here may take hours to clear. You'll witness how ingenious people are at eeking out a living in all sorts of niches of the human existence. Leave a Comment

 Countryside kitchen by Saagar Compared to the cities of Bnagladesh, the countryside and small villages offer a calm and quiet and tranquility that is very soothing to the soul. You would have missed Bangladesh - the real Bangladesh - if you did not see the tatched houses inbetween the paddy fields and fish tanks. Go do it! Leave a Comment
