On the Road to Rajshani

Leaving the jungle like countryside, we headed back to the crowded highway with the chorus of big beeping trucks jamming the highway with their shipments of produce from the fertile north to the rest of Bangladesh.  We stopped at a small weaving village along the way where electric machines run by humans are replacing the old way of doing things slowly by hand.  We were met again with a group of kids following us trying to figure out who we were and why we were there.  We continued our journey over the Brahmaputra River.

We stopped at a small village of Puthia which has remnants of an old terracotta Hindu temple that is slowly being restored from being destroyed by Pakistan with the war for indepdence in the 70’s.  We then ended our day getting to Rajshani which sits right on the banks of the Ganges.
