Muslim devotees pray in the middle of a busy road junction, causing traffic to come to a standstill, in Tongi, Dhaka, Bangladesh during Bishwa Ijtema, one of the major Islamic religious gatherings observed annually. Dedicated prayer grounds are not enough to handle this huge number of people, so large numbers of people come to Tongi, the main street of Dhaka. All the ground transportation and pedestrian crossings are suspended during that time.
