Mohona (Batan Ghar)

Mohona, also known as Batan Ghar, is a traditional floating platform found in Bengal's riverine regions, particularly in Bangladesh. Constructed from bamboo and wood, it serves as a versatile structure used for fish farming, transportation, and daily activities like washing or social gatherings. Positioned on the water, Mohonas provide an accessible base beneath the floating homes and boats, adapting to seasonal changes in water levels. This innovative structure reflects local ingenuity in aquatic environments, supporting the livelihoods of communities dependent on rivers for sustenance and commerce.
