Millions of Muslim saints from all over the country gathered in Dhaka, the capital, to worship the holy land-Donggi in collective worship and usher in the annual pilgrimage festival. It is a pilgrimage festival for Bangladeshi people. Everyone takes a train to Dhaka, the capital of Bangladesh. The train is packed with people inside and outside, called the "Train Festival".The scene is a wonder of human civilization. Due to Bangladesh's high population density and the large-scale Hajj festival, people from other places come to squeeze into the train when the event is over.
