The Faculty of Fine Arts at Dhaka University has completed preparations to welcome the Bengali New Year with its traditional Pahela Baishakh procession, scheduled to begin at 9 a.m. on April 14. The event, themed “Harmony of the New Year, Revival of Democracy,” will feature vibrant motifs and cultural displays created by teachers and students working day and night. The procession will start from the faculty’s north gate, move through Shahbagh, TSC, and Doel Chattar, and return to the campus.
The faculty grounds are already festive, with students painting clay pots, making masks, and selling artworks to fund the event. This year’s procession will highlight five main motifs—rooster, dotara, wooden elephant, dove, and clay horse—symbolizing strength, creativity, peace, pride, and dynamism. Dean Professor Dr. Md. Azharul Islam Sheikh said the initiative aims to revive and preserve traditional roots while conveying contemporary social and cultural messages.
Strict security measures have been arranged, including CCTV, archways, and restricted entry points. Participants must carry identification, and certain items such as masks, bags, and fireworks are prohibited. Cultural programs will also be held on April 13, 15, and 16 as part of the celebrations.
