"We always want to bring variations in the traditional items we make each year, and this time, we have focused on images of owls, horses, sampan, tepa putul, palki and the national bird, doel," said Masum Hawlader, a faculty member of the Fine Arts department.

The department will also organise a fanush (sky lantern) festival, lighting lamps and fireworks marking Chaitra Sankranti, the last day of the Bengali Year 1425.
