Bangladesh (বাংলাদেশ) is the Eastern neighbour of India. I got a chance to see the city of Dhaka which is the capital and the largest city of Bangladesh.
Chandrima Uddan (also called "Zia Uddan") is a park situated across the road from the Jatiyo Sangshad Bhaban, in Dhaka, Bangladesh. In Bengali, the name literally means "Moonlight Park". This park is notable for being the place where the former Bangladeshi President, Ziaur Rahman was buried. It is connected to the main approach road with a bridge which runs over the Crescent Lake. The park is a common place to spend leisure time in the vicinity.

Reflections of Dhaka, Bangaladesh
Panning shot. Almost got into trouble with this image as the structures behind are some sort of armed forces (military) building/office. Security guards wanted to see my images and asked me to not shoot in that direction.

Huge sized hot jalebis. Iftar Delicacies of Dhaka.
The holy month of Ramazan in the Muslim world is observed with great piety and fervour. The daylong fasting ends at sunset and the faithful break their fasting with the delicacies of IFTARI. The fasting is meant to teach a person patience, humility and sacrifice, to set aside time to ask forgiveness, practice self-restraint, and pray for guidance in the future. Dhaka , particularly its densely populated older section bustles and buzzes with the rush home and the selling and buying of Iftari items as the time for Iftar draws near. Almost every restaurant of the city, from the 5-star hotels to local street outlets prepares their traditional and special Iftari items. Iftari items displayed on open-air stalls and tables with the adjacent gas burner or the stove frying Iftar items on large pans, some other in syrupy liquid and sizzling the other Iftaris over red-hot charcoal fire becomes the iconic Ramazan image of Dhaka.Chawk Bazar in old Dhaka is famous. The entire road in front of Shahi Masjid throbs with the hustle bustle. Jam packed with crowds.
Top item is `Muri' (sand fried rice), and there is Piazu (paste of mashed lentils), `Beguni' or `Beson' (crushed yellow peas), `Jilapi' (sweetmeat), `Halim' (pasty broth), `Swami' and `Nargisi' Kabab with boiled egg, `Shik Kabab' (meats on skewers) as well as `dahi bara' (curd items).
