Viewpoint
Favor the classic viewpoint looking across the Rupsha River from the riverbank ghat toward the Khan Jahan Ali Bridge, showing coconut palm fronds and wooden boat mooring ropes in the foreground, the wide river expanse, wooden rowboats, and concrete bridge spans in the middle-ground, and the lush delta horizon fading in the background.
Palette
Green should be the predominant color, especially in the thick coconut and betel palm groves lining the Rupsha riverbanks, mangrove fringes, and lush aquatic flora.
