Biswa Ijtema is a spiritual gathering where  religious sermons and prayers are preached by Islamic scholars. Devotees  arrive for the three-day event from all over the country, and even  abroad, by whatever means possible. And that includes, mostly, piling on  top of already overcrowded trains and loading onto ferries that could  tip at any moment. During the days leading up to the event, additional  trains and buses are pressed into service, but apparently these are not  enough to transport 3 million people in a safe way. As hundreds of thousands of devotees pour into the town of 350,000,  authorities employ paramilitary forces and volunteers to overcome  massive logistical challenges. A 160-acre plot is prepared for the event  with basic services like electricity, telephones, gas connectors and  toilets. The devotees eat, sleep and pray on the premise. Medicals camps  are setup and doctors on leave are recalled for their services.  30 million liters of water is consumed each day by those attending the  massive gathering, and 4,000 toilets are shared among them. Despite  the large number of devotees living within a confined space, generally  there is very few problems of sanitation, cooking, and internal  movements. It is believed to be possible because of the minimalist  approach adopted by the devotees. Devotees have reduced their own  requirements and developed a respect for others' requirements. Biswa  Ijtema is organized by Tablighi Jamaat, a Bangladeshi non-political  group whose goal is Islamic spiritual reformation. The tradition of  Ijtema was initiated by an Indian savant named Muhammad Ilyas  al-Kandhlawi and began as a small group of religious-minded individuals  gathering at a local mosque. Biswa Ijtema is being held in Tongi  continuously for the last four decades. <img src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-czCqRQhVHvg/U7JDqOi7r3I/AAAAAAAAzi0/dWQMT8-47aQ/biswa-ijtema-15%25255B7%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> <img src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-ZaagnYr08ms/U7JDtqZFdvI/AAAAAAAAzi8/lHePMHfT5lQ/biswa-ijtema-16%25255B3%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> <img src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-7Hu8UfwOwbk/U7JDwj3yl1I/AAAAAAAAzjE/M3IgDhtfd2s/biswa-ijtema-02.jpg?imgmax=800" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> <img src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-Ous3stD_Gxs/U7JDz_ic6CI/AAAAAAAAzjM/eJXAL2J_Udo/biswa-ijtema-42.jpg?imgmax=800" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> <img src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-3Iv5s-5R3es/U7JD2UCkeQI/AAAAAAAAzjU/hse-lmYIFkc/biswa-ijtema-52.jpg?imgmax=800" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> <img src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-eVZKNN7ZfJM/U7JD4fdt0DI/AAAAAAAAzjc/to3KMfpJjyg/biswa-ijtema-62.jpg?imgmax=800" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> <img src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-fTTSsnlVPro/U7JD7PSGofI/AAAAAAAAzjk/x1iPcNBwO7Q/biswa-ijtema-72.jpg?imgmax=800" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> <img src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/--25QtgjgTvc/U7JD93HmNzI/AAAAAAAAzjs/4luK8KS3pr4/biswa-ijtema-82.jpg?imgmax=800" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> <img src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-C8Gts7QwclI/U7JEAKfmVTI/AAAAAAAAzj0/cfSTMsMVshg/biswa-ijtema-92.jpg?imgmax=800" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> <img src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-_xGJO4oOVgY/U7JEoOCreeI/AAAAAAAAzk0/GjvFB_Q-XMU/biswa-ijtema-142.jpg?imgmax=800" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> </blockquote>
