In pictures: Vibrant Mongol Shobhajatra at DU

Dhaka University’s Faculty of Fine Arts on Friday morning held a colourful Mongol Shobhajatra as part of Pohela Boishakh celebrations, to usher in the Bangla New Year 1430.

Mongol Shobhajatra, which translates to 'procession seeking wellbeing,' is a signature event that represents folk motifs of the country's traditions. This procession, adorned with colourful banners and animal replicas, has become an integral part of Bangladesh's culture.
