“Mongol Shovajatra” -Procession for Well-being” Acrylic on Canvas,12/18 inch, 2024
Mongol Shovajatra is a mass procession that takes place at dawn on the first day of the Bengali New Year in Bangladesh. The procession is organized by the teachers and students of the Faculty of Fine Arts of the University of Dhaka. The festival is considered an expression of the secular identity of the Bangladeshi people and as a way to promote unity and prosperity. I created this painting, getting inspired by that procession and how it looks.

8/16 inch
2025
‘Tepa Putul,’ a handmade clay doll shaped as a human or animal, is another repeated motif of the festival. Countryside melas (village fairs), where they can be found, are another immense inspiration for procession motifs. It represents the tradition of rural carnivals, or ‘mela’s (fairs), where local artists make dolls for children.
