The Buriganga River, flowing through Old Dhaka, is more than water—it’s a living artery of movement, commerce, and community. At Sadarghat, one of the busiest river ports in South Asia, ferries like the one in this photo carry thousands daily, weaving together stories of rural travelers, city workers, and even the occasional rooster. Despite pollution and urban pressures, the river remains a vital lifeline, echoing centuries of Bangladesh’s riverine heritage.
