The traditional Baishakhi procession marking Bangla New Year 1433 began on Tuesday morning from the Faculty of Fine Arts at Dhaka University. The event, themed “Harmony of the New Year, Revival of Democracy,” drew spontaneous participation from teachers, students, and people from all walks of life. The day’s festivities started at dawn at Ramna Batamul with a cultural program featuring 22 songs, concluding with the national anthem before preparations for the procession began.
The procession started from the north gate of the Faculty of Fine Arts, passing Shahbagh, Raju Sculpture, Doel Chattar, and Bangla Academy before returning to the campus. Five main motifs—rooster, elephant, dove, dotara, and horse—symbolized renewal, strength, peace, cultural roots, and rural simplicity. Participants voiced calls for cultural unity and protested attacks on Baul artists, turning the event into a vibrant celebration.
Authorities implemented strict security measures across the campus, including police, RAB, DB, and SWAT presence, identity checks, and CCTV monitoring to ensure safety during the festivities.
