Alif Laila Wins Nalbari Boat Race on Janmastami
Imagine a boat race in a village!
It happened during a Hindu holiday called Krishna Janmastami.
Boats from different places raced on the Pagladia river.
The winning boat was called Alif Laila, and Jonbai came in second.
This race is special because the people who row the boats are Muslim, and they sing songs about Lord Krishna.
It's been going on for 82 years, and it brings everyone together.
The Ulabari boat race was held on Krishna Janmastami.
Alif Laila won the boat race.

The race has been a tradition for 82 years.
