A traditional boat race, called Nouka Baich, has been held in the Jamuna River at Belkuchi in Sirajganj.
Belkuchi Municipality and the villagers of Khidramatia-Mukundagati organised the two-day competition in Khidramatia.
Village fairs were held on both banks of the river on the occasion.
People of almost all ages joined the festivity.
A total of 20 boats participated in the race.
Mustakin Pramanik, a ninth grader who came to see the race, said, "I’ve never seen such a big boat before. It was very nice to see such a big boat and so many people today."
