Biggest Shopping Bonanza of The Year

You don't only shop for yourself. You shop for your spouse, children, parents and relatives and friends you hold dear. Eid has become a time when we give gifts to our loved ones and that's why this month has become so big. From the tiniest of nose pins to elaborate Katan saris that have six figure price tags, from cufflinks to Rajshahi silk Punjabis, everything is bought and sold during Ramadan. The shopping arcades are crowded beyond belief. Everyone is in a hurry to get their shopping done before shops run out of the Eid collection and their sizes. And those who celebrate Eid outside Dhaka have more urgency. They have to get all shopping done before they head out for Eid holidays. The photos were taken from malls across the capital.
