Ramadan in Dhaka is a time of vibrant streets, joyful faces, and communal spirit, all beautifully captured by renowned photographer Ashraful Arefin. His remarkable photos showcase the city’s bustling streets, where vendors display colorful arrays of traditional foods like samosas, dates, and jilapis, creating a festive atmosphere.
The portraits he captures reveal the deep sense of faith and happiness that permeates the city during this sacred month, from the serene expressions of the elderly to the excited smiles of children. Each image tells a story of anticipation and joy as residents prepare for Iftar, the meal that breaks their fast at sunset.
Arefin’s collection also highlights the dramatic beauty of Dhaka’s rainy season, which often coincides with Ramadan. Rain-soaked streets glisten, adding a serene contrast to the otherwise bustling city. In one striking photograph, a young boy is seen playing in the rain, his laughter embodying the joyous spirit of the season despite the downpour.
Food plays a central role in Arefin’s depiction, with vibrant, steaming dishes symbolizing the importance of sharing meals during this holy time. Through his lens, Arefin invites us to experience the warmth, community, and spiritual depth of Ramadan in Dhaka.
