The Street of Dhaka
Friday prayer on the Dhaka Street during Ijtema festival. Ijtema is one of the major Islamic religious gathering which happens every year in Dhaka, Bangladesh. Ijtema is the annual three-day congregation & it has a strong appeal to South Asian Muslims and its diaspora. Millions of Muslim people visit Dhaka during this ceremony. Friday prayer during this event is very much essential for the Muslims. Dedicated prayer ground is not enough to handle this huge number people during the prayer time, so large number of people come to the main street of Dhaka. The Muslim’s believe that the blessings of the almighty will be bestowed upon them as its consequence. All the ground transportation & other people movement is suspended during that time.
