About the photo…
“The photo is about a Hindu festival named “Rakher Upobash”. When thousands of Hindu people sit together with oil lamps and fruits. They pray to God in Barodi temple, Dhaka, Bangladesh. The Hindu devotees keep fasting on that day and secure their places from the afternoon in the temple. All the men, women, and children sit side by side. They remember Baba Loknath who was 18th Century Hindu saint of Bengal.” - Muhammad Amdad Hossain
