As dawn breaks over Ruhul Beel in Bhangura, Pabna, hundreds of fishermen gather for the annual Baut Utsav — a traditional fishing festival that marks the dry season. When the water in the Haor and Beel recedes, villagers use handmade bamboo traps and nets to catch fish. It’s more than just fishing; it’s a celebration of community and heritage. After the catch, families share the day’s bounty together, keeping alive a centuries-old rural tradition.
