Flowers

Row of lush saptaparni trees, commonly called chhatim, adorned with small white blossoms, line a three-kilometre stretch from C&B Mor to Railgate in Rajshahi city. The Rajshahi City Corporation has planted 350 saptaparni trees and it is the season for the flowers to enchant people with its mildly sweet, yet addictive fragrance. This photo was taken recently in front of the Rajshahi Education Board in the Lakshmipur area. Photo: Bulbul Habib
