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.
