Tepa Putul
Tepa Putul or indigenous clay dolls have their origins in the images of deities, made by potters. They are shaped by hand, dried in the sun and fired in kilns. Originally, there were never painted.
Tepa Putul were not made for sale. These dolls were generally gift items or for sacrifice. At some point, artisans faced financial crises and began looking for alternative means of earning money. Thus they started selling these dolls. Now the dolls are painted in yellow, red, green and black. (The Daily Star)

Somewhere out there beneath the pale moonlight
Someone's thinking of me and loving me tonight
Somewhere out there someone's saying a prayer
That we'll find one another in that big somewhere out there
And even though I know how very far apart we are
It helps to think we might be wishing on the same bright star
And when the night wind starts to sing a lonesome lullaby
It helps to think we're sleeping underneath the same big sky
Somewhere out there if love can see us through
Then we'll be together somewhere out there
Out where dreams come true..

I have a dream that people would stop hating each other.
I have a dream that world hunger would end.
I have a dream that there is world peace.
I have a dream that money won't take over the world.
I have a dream that pollution will end.
I have a dream that sickness will end.
I have a dream that people will be equal.
I have a dream people will respect me for who I am.
I have a dream that everybody would have this dream.

Puppet Theatre, a universal form of popular dramatic entertainment by using puppets, is commonly known to the Bangladeshis as ‘Putul Nach’.
Though ‘Puppet Show’ is a part of the country’s folk culture and the tradition of puppetry in Bangladesh dates back at least a thousand years, it is now very rarely seen to be performed except in some occasional fairs in the rural areas.
The rural people, though, get a chance to enjoy puppet show at least once or twice in a year; the city dwellers hardly get the opportunity, as they are not yet properly introduced with this medium of art.

Bhai Phota
A ritual involving brother and sister, Bhai Phota is observed by Bengalies that is almost similar to the north Indian Bhai Dhooj.
On the day of Bhai Phota, both brothers and sisters are decked in finery. Sisters apply a sandalwood paste ' tilak' or mask known as Phota on the forehead of their brothers, place some paddy grass known as "Dub" or "Dubya" on their heads and chant a verse for the siblings long life. Then they place a sweet in the brother's mouth. Of course, the ceremony is rounded off with a grand meal and the exchange of gifts. The merriment of Bhai Phota is increased amid the resounding of conch shells in every Bengali household.
This picture was taken in 1983. The little boy is me Shudipto and the little girl is my younger sister Putul.
I have uploaded this picture today because today is Bhai-Phota.

WOODEN DOLLS OF NATUNGRAM
Homemade ethnic character dolls are the main characteristic feature of NATUNGRAM village of BARDWAN district, West Bengal. The nearest Railway stations from the village are Agradeep and Katwa (1.4-1.5 km).
The dolls are carved in wood and decoratively painted by a group of rural craft persons, known as "SUTRADHARS" ( meaning 'narrator' or 'story teller'), because they make characters from ancient folklores and mythology and tell stories through their dolls.
The owl, with its unique design and colours, is the brand product of the village. On the white background of the owl is painted with the distinctive colours of red, green, yellow and black colours lines. Beside the Owl Krishna-Radha, King- Queen, Durga dolls are made in traditional way.
The dolls are craved from one single piece of wood. A big piece of cylindrical woood is cut off in every direction according to the size, shape and figure requirement. Then to give it a final shape the structure is chiseled out. The traditional design based on culture and mythology, the richness of ideas, the brilliant combination of pure and simplicity and glamour combined with the master craftmanship of the craft artists, resulting an amazing art work. Now a days some of the wodden dolls are barnished to give them a great finishing touch for making them useful in interior decoration.
Around 60 families living in the Natungram village are involved in the Doll making. In this family craft business both men and women have key role. The doll makers are organized as a collective, 'Natungram Kastho Khodai Hastashilpa Samity'.
