Photos of Chittagong enthrall Nepalese viewers

A recent photography exhibition by photographers from Chittagong in Kathmandu's historic Pathan museum saw enthusiastic attendance from Nepalese people. 

Titled “My Soil My Soul”, the exhibition organised by Chittagong Photojournalists' Association (CPJA) featured 44 photographs by 22 photographers, depicting the lifestyle of Chittagonian people from different walks of life, historic places and architecture, and the hilly landscapes. 

While inaugurating the exhibition, Bangladeshi Ambassador to Nepal Mashfi Binte Shams said the lifestyle of Nepalese people are somewhat similar to those of Chittagong, and the viewers could relate to it. 

CPJA's exhibition curator Anurup Das said apart from locals, a number of foreign tourists also enjoyed the exhibition. He said the goal of the exhibition was to portray greater Chittagong to the world. 

The Pathan Museum, venue of the exhibition, stands among the destruction of last year's devastating earthquake in Nepal, and still attracts visitors. 

Two prior exhibitions of the same title were held earlier, one in Chittagong and another in India's Agartala.
