On the last day of Eid‑ul‑Azha holidays yesterday, Dhaka was yet to regain its usual bustle. With many offices and businesses remaining closed, the city’s busy roads and footpaths saw thinner crowds. Fewer buyers meant many hawkers had not set up their stalls, leaving the pavements unusually quiet. The photo was taken in the Baitul Mukarram area of Paltan.
