Fish. Yes thats what Bengalis are famous for and so some pics of them below. Its quite bizarre cos all the pics below are from the Shah Jalal compound - basically theirs some mythical story which somehow connects fish to some incident in the life of Shah Jalal, and so there's these purpose built ponds in the compund with lots of fish. I am not kidding. The picture below shows lots of people eagerlly looking at the fish. A couple of years ago apparently some people released some poison into the ponds and all the fish died as they thought this fish thing was bid'ah (Oh really...?). There's also this special pond with these Golden fish...My God...
