Although winter in Bangladesh is still weeks away, winter pithas have already appeared on the streets of Cox’s Bazar. A vendor named Shafik is selling hot, steaming bhapa pithas, drawing the attention of passersby. For many pitha lovers, seeing these seasonal treats makes it feel like winter has arrived. This cozy scene can be spotted on Hospital Road in Cox’s Bazar.
Despite the ongoing month of Ashwin and the passing of Bhadra, the oppressive heat of late summer still lingers in the air.
