Brahmanbaria

Titas river country, cradle of music and chhanamukhi

Brahmanbaria lies along the Titas river and the Indian border, a fertile district best known for its musical heritage — Ustad Alauddin Khan was born here — and its sugary chhanamukhi sweet. Travellers come for old zamindar houses, Mughal mosques and the quiet river life of the Titas.
