A dark-hulled wooden passenger boat, significantly overloaded with approximately 40 to 50 individuals, navigates a murky, greenish-brown waterway in Narayanganj, Bangladesh. The passengers, predominantly adult males, are densely clustered, occupying both standing and seated positions on the vessel. Their attire is casual. One man in a red shirt stands at the bow, holding a vertical pole, while another individual at the stern operates a long pole, likely for propulsion or steering. The water surface around the boat and extending to the distant bank is partially covered with aquatic vegetation and debris. The background features a dense urban skyline composed of numerous multi-story buildings, predominantly light-colored, lining the riverbank. These structures display varied architectural styles, some exhibiting signs of construction or wear. Green foliage is visible between the buildings along the bank. A taller building with multiple communication antennas stands on the far right horizon. The sky is overcast. Faint outlines of other boats are visible further down the waterway.
