The crowded and chaotic river port looks quite intriguing from the sky. Right across the road, in the middle ground, is the iconic Ahsan Manzil, the 19th century residence of the Nawabs of Dhaka built in the Indo-Saracenic Revival Architectural style. It is a museum now. Photo: Saad Abdullah

The largest sand market in the city

A dead Irrawaddy dolphin washed ashore in the Bay of Bengal on a sunny morning. A local man grabbed it by the tail and brought it out of the water. The dead mammal lay on the sandy beach and became a reason of curiosity for tourists. A child watched it from afar, perhaps wondering how a “fish” can be out of the water. Another family walked past it taking quick glances. A group of youth took photos of it, while a couple on a motorbike posed with the dead mammal. Photo: Aninda Kabir Avik
