1. From the motor boat |
2. The ba(n)dh (barrier) to stop the river from eroding the bank. Its made of a bamboo frame with soil filled plastic/jute bags. This works much better than only soil. | |
3. Another ba(n)dh made of brick, partially broken by the river. | |
4. A ghat, where the boat stops for some to get down & some to get in. Note the 2 levels. They are need for the high & the low tide as the height of river surface varies. | |
5. Note how wide the river is & the land vanishing at the horizon. That way leads to Bay of Bengal. |
