Traditional process of drying paddy

Many rice mill workers in Bangladesh still boil and dry paddy using the traditional process. It usually takes 1-2 days to dry the paddy properly. For this, the workers spread the boiled paddy out in the sun from morning to afternoon. In addition to bamboo and wooden tools, they use their feet to dry the paddy. In rice mills, there is usually an equal demand for male and female workers. When they dry the rice in this way, beautiful patterns are also created.
