Polo Bawa Utshob, a fishing festival, took place in the beel (marshy land) of Bangladesh. Elders of the village reminisced that the polo bawa utshab on the first day of the Bengali month of Magh (January) has been a tradition for 200 years. Hundreds of people including villagers, and fishermen take part in this festival spontaneously with “polo”, a bamboo-made fish-catching trap, in knee-deep water.
