The size of the naturally grown bill is about 20 acres. The bill produces three types of shrapnel - red, white and purple. However, the red curse is high. The bills are usually open from September to January.

One moment, it would seem, a sheet of red shrapnel. Shapala bedding all over. So the name of the village has become 'Shapala Bill'. Everyone calls it by the name of the northern seventies.

Naturally, the unique color of this shapala will impress anyone in Kalbila village of Satla union of Wazirpur upazila of Barisal. This form of Rupsi Bengal is now praised in the countryside and beyond.

Usually in September and October, the red bloom flowers in this bill. Tourists have already started coming from different parts of the country to see Lal Shapala boiling in the water. Locals believe that it will soon become one of the tourist destinations in the country.

It was like a red “red paradise” in Bengal with a dark green background around the bill. Seeing the red in the green from afar is a distressing situation. As the distance decreases, the flower becomes clear. The billions of red shaplas floating on the bills filled with weeds and cloves are truly a land of beauty.

The red eyes of Bill's natural beauty of the shapala eyes are added. Pipasu nature lovers traveling from different parts of the country every day to see the charm of this fascinating bill. The ad is built around the bill shapala. As a result, the 'Shaplar Bill' of Satla is becoming more and more spectacular.

The bill is located at a distance of about 6 km from Barisal city, north of Satla union of the upazila, Kalbila of Harata, Baghdha of the adjoining Agailjhara upazila and Khajuria village. But the total size of the bill is unknown to anyone. However, according to sources in the Upazila Agriculture Department, the bill is about 100 hectares of land.

Although no one can give the exact details of how many years the bill has begun to be born, some people in the locality say that they have seen Shapala burst on this bill since their birth. Most of the year, this type of red, white and purple shapala is produced in the water submerged most of the year, but red shapala is more abundant. The more you move inside the bill, the greater the red. At one point it would seem that you are a prisoner in the kingdom of Shapala.

Moreover, Shapala's bill is not only aesthetic, but Shapala is also making livelihood for the families of those areas by selling Shapala to the local market. Many people in the village adjacent to the bill have said that for the six months of the year, many depend on the bills of this bill. Some of them raise their livelihoods, some are selling fish in the market by selling fish from the bills.

They also said that in early winter in early December, when the water is reduced, all the shrapnel die. At that time the farmers cultivated rice here. But at the same time, it is doubtful whether paddy and shapala co-exist.

Ramendra Nath Barhai, deputy director of the Barisal Agricultural Extension Department, said that shapalas are generally of three types. Among these are white, purple (hundi shapala) and the other is red.

White flowers are used as a herbaceous vegetable and the red color is used for medicinal purposes. Shapala is a very nutrient rich vegetable. Its nutrient quality is much higher than that of ordinary vegetables. Shapala contains a lot of calcium. In Shapala, the amount of calcium is seven times higher than that of potatoes. Which is very useful to the human body.
