BEEL BAICH – A RURAL REJOICE

Singing and rejoicing, inhabitants of Boroshila village in Tangail Sadar upazila make their way back home with their catch. At the beginning of winter every year, the villagers, like many others in rural Bangladesh, fish together in almost dried-up water bodies. Photo: Mirza Shakil
They use nothing but locally-made tools. The traditional practice is known as “Beel Baich”. Photo: Mirza Shakil
