PREVIEW

Each year in the Bengali month of Chaitra, thousands from Faridpur set out on crowded wooden boats to join the Lengta Mela at Beltoli. Their journey begins along the Dhaleshwari River in Munshiganj, before weaving through other river routes that connect communities across the delta. Draped in vivid fabrics and carrying flags, families and neighbors travel together, turning the waterways into a vibrant procession. More than a passage, this annual voyage reflects resilience, devotion, and the enduring cultural spirit of Bangladeshs riverine life.
