Life Along The Brahmaputra River

Local fishermen cast a wide circular net from a wooden boat in the Brahmaputra River in Gaibandha, Bangladesh, on February 15, 2026. The sweeping arc of the net forms a near-perfect ring in the blue-green water as the boat moves slowly along the surface. This traditional fishing method reflects the river-dependent livelihoods that sustain rural communities across the Brahmaputra basin. (Photo by Muhammad Amdad Hossain/NurPhoto)
