Description: A traditional boat race, popularly known as nauka baich, in progress at the Titas River in Brahmanbaria, Bangladesh, on September 7, 2023. Darting through the water like arrows, these sleek boats—from Brahmanbaria, Habiganj and Kishoreganj areas—draw cheering, clapping families to the river bank. The history, tradition, culture, entertainment, festivals and sports of riverside Bangladesh are full of river and boat movement.
