A Memorable Experience of Buying Hilsa Fish on the Bank of the Padma River
The Padma River is not just a river; it is a lifeline, a source of inspiration, and a symbol of beauty and abundance for the people of Bangladesh. Among its many treasures, the most celebrated is undoubtedly the Hilsa fish, lovingly called the “queen of fish” by Bengalis. Recently, I had the wonderful opportunity to visit the bank of the Padma River and witness the unforgettable moment of buying fresh Hilsa, an experience that was beautifully captured through photography.
As I arrived at the riverside, the view itself was enchanting. The wide stretch of the Padma flowed with calm yet majestic waves, sparkling under the golden sunlight. Fishermen’s boats floated gently on the water, their nets heavy with the day’s precious catch. The entire environment was filled with excitement and life. It was not just about buying fish; it felt like becoming a part of the culture and rhythm of the river.
