The impression of Bangladesh is full of enigmatic colors. Islam too. Uttara is located in the north of Bengal, and the famous annual Ijtema (Great Pilgrimage) is known as the first in Asia and the second in the world with millions of Muslims pouring in from all directions. The city, which was supposed to be full of devotion, would have large open spaces for worshipers to worship in Mecca. Unexpectedly, the cars simply stopped, and the believers opened the exclusive worship paper on the spot, and followed the sound of the radio to complete the four-step process of thinking, bowing, prostrating, and kneeling three times in order. I was fortunate to have the top floor of the roadside shop, although I overlooked a corner, I was shocked, and I deeply felt the amazing meaning of "reading 10,000 books is better than traveling 10,000 miles".
