Nouka Baich - a photo on Flickriver

Nouka Baich

            Nouka Baich / Boat Race is a traditional sport of Bangladesh.
With riverine Bangladesh's geography being dominated by the world's largest delta, the country has over 230 rivers in its terrain.The rivers have played an important role in the livelihoods of the native Bengali people.
Common in rural areas, Nouka Baich is a very old tradition of the folk Bengali culture going back centuries.Its popularity in urban areas increased in the 18th century. The various Nawab families throughout Mughal Bengal were also known for organising races and the use of Sari gan started to become more popular.
Nouka Baich was also common during the British rule in the Sylhet region after the rainy season when much of the land goes under water. The long canoes were referred to as khel naos (meaning playing boats) and the use of cymbals to accompany the singing was common.
