Farmers arrange bunches of water lilies after harvesting them from the wetlands in Barishal, Bangladesh on March 21, 2023. Floating through 10,000 acres of canal, farmers use their little boats to fetch the flowers. They break through the layer of water lilies on the surface of the water as they practice the traditional craft of picking water lilies by hand. Every flower is carefully hand-picked, collected inside the farmers' little wooden boat, tied in bundles, and sold to markets. After working for an entire day, a farmer can pick around 80 to 120 bundles of water lilies. Water lily harvesting is a major source of income for more than 250 families in the area.

Hindu Devotees took part in the annual Lal Kach (Red Glass) festival in Munshiganj, Bangladesh to welcome Bangla new year on April 12, 2023. During the Hindu Lal Kach festival, children and men paint themselves with orange color and attend a procession holding swords as they show power against evil and welcome the Bengali New Year. The Lal Kach festival is well known for the local community for more than hundred years. As the month of Chaitra, the last in the Bangla year, draws to an end, the Hindu community comes together in a festival dedicated to the worship of Lord Shiva and Parvati. The festival is locally known as “Lal Kach” (Red Glass). The central idea behind this program is for a group of soldiers led by Shiva to appear on earth with a mission: ward off the forces of evil. These soldiers, glowing in the divine light of Shiva, march towards nearby temples. It is all part of a very long tradition going back hundreds of years. The Hindus, especially the young, paint themselves in orange, take up swords, bring out processions and dance. (Photo by Joy Saha/Rex Features/Shutterstock)
