‘Ramayana most popular performing art in Bangladesh’ --by Madhusree Chatterjee
Tue, 03/17/2009 - 19:57 — nirzhar noishabdya![]()
Agra, March 17 (IANS) In the green hinterland of Islamic Bangladesh, the Ramayana is the most popular performing art form, says a leading playwright of the country.
The Indian epic exists in harmony with Sufism and a variety of indigenous folk arts like the Pir Gaan (song of the clergy), Gazi Gaan (song of the priest), Gazir Pail (theatre of the priests), Behular Nach (Dance of Behula) and Paddar Nach (Dance from the banks of river Padma), says Saymon Zakaria.
“At least eight versions of the Ramayana, mostly folklore-based performances, are enacted in the countryside of Bangladesh. It is one of the most popular epics in the country, surpassing even the Mahabharata in its ratings,” Zakaria told IANS.

Theatre Groups of Bangladesh
Sat, 12/06/2008 - 19:06 — nirzhar noishabdya
dhaka did not response to the theatre with much enthusiasm as the people of Calcutta, a number of dramatic groups eg, namely Illisium Theatre (1888), Crown Theatre (1890-92), etc, were established in Dhaka during the pre-partition period. Some of the drama groups worth mentioning that were established outside Dhaka are Khulna Theatre (1900), Coronation Dramatic Club, Tangail (1911), Dinajpur Natya Samiti (1913), etc. Dramatic Clubs and groups established after the partition of India in 1947 in Dhaka include Habib Productions (1952), Drama Circle (1955), Kheyali Group Theatre (1969), etc. A number of dramatic groups became active in independent Bangladesh after 1971, which gave a new momentum to the theatre movement. Details of some of these dramatic clubs established in pre-1947 Calcutta and in present day Bangladesh are detailed below:

The Archeology of Myths: Paintings of Ronni Ahmed by Mustafa Zaman
Wed, 11/19/2008 - 19:45 — nirzhar noishabdya
It is a meditation on Noah's Ark with a flurry of excitingly disjointed ideas interlaced in one dramatic tableau; it is the Magnum Opus of Ronni Ahmed.
This 100-foot-long saga, told in an exquisitely surreal language, is the stuff of imagination brought into existence to stimulate the imagination. It is a gargantuan mix of tales told in a hyperbolic code. It is a cerebral action painting that lays its faith on an orgy of seemingly disparate visual elements. A Biblical tale recontextualised to fit into a spectrum of ideas that harp on personal fantasy and collective memories, the acrylic on canvas is titled, "The Archeology of Noah's Arc".

Music of Bangladesh
Wed, 11/12/2008 - 20:08 — nirzhar noishabdya Bangladesh is traditionally very rich in its musical heritage. From the ancient times, music documented the lives of the people and was widely patronized by the rulers.
Bangla music in ancient times was mostly linked to prayer. Due to the immense influence of Hindu mythology, most folk songs are related to some sort of praise of the gods and their creation. Songs were associated with particular groups of people, such as fishermen, cart-drivers, hermits and so on. Most songs were based on classical themes.
Modernisation of Bangla music occurred at different times and most of these modernisation processes happened independently of western influence. Most notable of these changes were:

The Brief History of art in Bengal
Tue, 10/28/2008 - 19:31 — nirzhar noishabdya 
Bangladesh is a land of art. Art is the way of living for the people of its 68,000 villages, where housewives are busy making Nakshikantha, Pankha(hand fan), pillow covers, handkerchiefs, wall hangings, TepaPutul (doll), Nakshipitha (decorated food item), bedcovers, and much more. Even the walls of the houses are painted and decorated in vibrant colors. And then there is the Alpana art, or ritual painting – motifs painted on the floors of the homes.
Urban Bangladesh thrives on art too, with its colorful trucks, buses, auto-rickshaws, and especially the art done on cycle-rickshaws that has gained quite a lot of attention in the recent times.
