Durga Puja in Banani (around the corner)

Durga Puja is a hindu festival. Only about 8% of Bangladesh is Hindu. However there being 160 million Bangladeshi, this means their number roughly equals the population of Belgium.

On a communal field nearby a building arose mostly out of triplex. It seems a popular outing. Food, toys and other junk are being sold. The effect is impressive.

Unfortunately I did have not much time in between work and sunset to capture it all.

A good opportunity for some PR




A good festival deserves temporary hand painting



Impressive for a temporary building
 
Playing with the fans
It's huge inside

Decorated street with a lot of vendors
