Rice traders gather with their traditional boats at one of the biggest rice markets at the edge of the Sandhya river in Barishal. According to locals, the bi-weekly Banaripara rice market has been set up here for around 200 years. Traders from far-flung places bring their wares to the market, offering many varieties of rice, including the Balam variety, which is considered a heritage of Barishal. Photo: Titu Das
