A celebration of joy, creativity, and inspiration unfolded at the historic Eden Mohila College in Dhaka, as the Bashundhara Shuvosangho, Eden College unit, organised a colourful cultural festival on Thursday.
Held on the college premises between regular classes and exams, the festive event offered students a refreshing break from academic monotony while showcasing their diverse talents.
With the theme “Let Culture Be the Light of Inspiration for Creative Development,” the festival featured performances including Quran recitation, poetry recitation, singing, dancing, and acting, allowing members of Shuvosangho to display their artistic skills and creativity.

All participants received special prizes, adding excitement and encouragement to the occasion.
