Devotion
You've heard about the power of prayer. But I'll venture that if we measure the power of prayer by the number of people praying all at once, in one place, and for the same cause, then the Muslims win hands down. It's estimated that over 100K people are gathered here for the annual Eid prayer in central Bangladesh to celebrate the end of the holy month of Ramadan. On top of the density of people from the air, the tapestry of colorful outfits and prayer mats adds another dimension to the surreal scene.
