Once you notice the steam and smell the delicious aroma, you know winter is here. With just a few days left to the Bangla month of Poush, the first month of the season, the vendors of Dhaka have started selling traditional pithas. In this photo taken in Motijheel on December 8, 2017, a man is steaming BhapaPitha, one of the winter favourites. Photo: Anisur Rahman
