On the bank of Turag River in Bangladesh, millions of Muslims from all over the world congregate to supplicate before one God. Overcoming all the obstacles, sacrificing all their worldly activities, spending hard earned resources, these devotees come here for a spiritual peace that money cannot buy and even the richest men of the world cannot afford. This three day long congregation is also the annual meeting of the preachers of Islam. Followed by the concluding prayer, these devotees spread all over the world to preach the message of peace, harmony and equality.
