‘Gallery on Wheels’: Cosmos Foundation felicitates Rickshaw Painters as the medium enlisted as UNESCO heritage
Honoring a seasoned group of rickshaw painters in Dhaka whose works have made rickshaw and rickshaw paintings recognized as the UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity earlier this month, Cosmos Foundation, through its artistic wing Gallery Cosmos, organised an event titled ‘Gallery on Wheels’ at the Private Museum, Baridhara in the capital on Thursday.
Hosted by Enayetullah Khan, Chairman of Cosmos Foundation, the event was joined by diplomats and officials from different embassies including the Ambassador of the Philippines to Bangladesh Leo Tito L Ausan Jr, President of the Cosmos Foundation Dr Iftekhar Ahmed Chowdhury, and elites of the diplomatic and international community, civil society, cultural and intellectual personalities attended the event.
Dhaka's rickshaws and rickshaw paintings enlisted as UNESCO heritage
Local and foreign dignitaries and maestro rickshaw painters including Mohammad Hanif Pappu, Syed Ahmed Hossain, Mohammad Soleman. S A Noor Ali and Md Monir Hossain were also present at the event.
“For this remarkable inclusion in the UNESCO list of Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity, I convey my heartiest congratulations to the rickshaw painters and the Cosmos Foundation for hosting this event. This year, we hosted a unique event titled ‘Adorn-a-Rickshaw’ as part of our traditional Kalayaan (independence) parade in Dhaka, which was a tribute to the iconic vehicle of the country and also to showcase the richness and colors of our Filipino festivals,” the Philippines ambassador said at the event.
Reviving the Rickshaw Art through the Lens of Gender-Diverse Communities
Mentioning the overwhelming response that the event received, and traditional festivals around the world such as the ‘Ati Atihan’ festival in the Philippines, Ambassador Leo said that Bangladesh should also have a rickshaw-themed annual festival to celebrate this achievement.
Cosmos Foundation President Dr Iftekhar Ahmed Chowdhury said, “When we grew up, we have seen rickshaw with vibrant, meaningful paintings behind it – and always realised that there are significant artistic values behind these works. I would like to congratulate Enayetullah Khan and Cosmos for discerning this, and being able to bring it out and present in front of us tonight. This art will continue far beyond our lifespan, because rickshaw and its associated artwork is not so much the object or form of transport; it is the unique and yet unmistakable bond between Dhaka, its people and its rickshaws. It is the essence of that relationship, that is inherently never tangible that UNESCO have recognized and we celebrate here today.”

Enayetullah Khan lauded the achievement at the ceremony, stating, “December is a month of victory for us, and this year we achieved another victory as our rickshaw painting got inscribed by UNESCO as it designated the medium as an Intangible Cultural Heritage. Through this recognition, the whole world came to know how creative, vibrant, and colorful this genre of art is.”
“Rickshaw first came in Dhaka city in around 1938, and the vehicle was first introduced in Japan when they were going through an energy crisis. When I was a child riding a rickshaw, I used to look ahead and see the painting on the back of the moving rickshaws - often saw the advertisements of the movies, or a place of interest in the world, or the pictures of different animals and picturesque, scenic beauties, or sometimes, it’s just a quote of wisdom!”
Mentioning broader plans to promote rickshaw painting across the world, Khan said, “I have travelled to at least 80 countries in the world, but I have never seen a nation as creative as ours. Today, we notice numerous rickshaw painting motifs in our living spaces, closets, and so on. We want everyone in the world to know about our culture.”
“That is why, we aim to organise an annual rickshaw painting festival to help raise the profile of the nation. For this, we will conduct comprehensive research through our Cosmos Foundation. We would like to conceptualise the findings through the publication of books, short documentaries and other creative works on rickshaw painting in the future. Through our Cosmos Foundation and its artistic wings like Gallery Cosmos, this is how we always promote Bangladesh.”
The artists showcased several of their rickshaw paintings, posters, and rickshaw painting-themed products, mesmerising the guests through the representation of their majestic and vibrant artistic visions.
“Even though we were not less than stars in this genre when every film poster had to be custom-made with rickshaw paint motifs, we started losing our momentums with the advancement of digital media. There was a time when people even used to mock us because we started channelling art in different decorative mediums.”

Zara apologizes for ‘unintentional’ Gaza imagery association in ad campaign
Zara has expressed regret over what it describes as a "misunderstanding" linked to an ad campaign that faced backlash for seemingly including images reminiscent of the Israel-Gaza conflict.
The controversy, which ignited substantial reaction on social media and led to complaints to the UK's advertising authority, prompted Zara to withdraw the remaining images, as reported by the BBC.

The campaign in question featured a model holding a mannequin wrapped in white plastic, which Zara said some customers interpreted as a reference to imagery “far from what was intended when they were created.”
This interpretation led to calls by some netizens for a boycott of the fashion retailer.

Zara clarified that the Atelier line campaign, launched in July and photographed in September, was unrelated to the Israel-Gaza conflict. The campaign's imagery, showing a model amidst cracked stones and unfinished sculptures, was interpreted by some as depicting scenes from Gaza.
However, Zara emphasized that the campaign was intended to showcase handcrafted garments in an artistic setting, with no connection to the conflict. The company deeply regretted any offense caused and reaffirmed its respect for all individuals.

Cons of Bajaj Pulsar N250
Speed Instability on High Speed
This superbike exhibits speed instability when crossing 100 kph, potentially impacting the rider's confidence and safety at higher speeds. This limitation might be a concern for riders who enjoy cruising at faster velocities on highways.
Same Tires as its Predecessor
The decision to retain the same tires as its predecessor for the 250 cc engine might raise concerns among riders. A 250cc bike demands a robust tire configuration to handle the increased power and provide optimal grip. Using the same tires as its predecessor may compromise the bike's performance potential, especially in terms of overall handling.
Limited Valve Configuration
Equipping this road crasher with only two valves in its engine might be viewed as an unexpected drawback. In a competitive market, a 4-valve engine configuration is often considered standard for maximizing performance, efficiency, and power delivery. The limitation of two valves could potentially impact the bike's ability to compete with other motorcycles in its class.
Traditional 5-Speed Gearbox
The decision to stick with a traditional 5-speed gearbox rather than upgrading to a 6-speed configuration might be seen as a missed opportunity. A 6-speed gearbox is increasingly becoming the industry standard for motorcycles in this category. The absence of extra gear could limit the bike's versatility, especially during highway cruising.
Lack of Bluetooth Connectivity
In an era where technology integration is a significant selling point, the absence of Bluetooth connectivity is a notable shortcoming for the N250. Bluetooth connectivity is now expected in modern vehicles, allowing riders to seamlessly connect their devices for navigation, communication, and entertainment. The lack of this feature could be perceived as a missed opportunity to enhance the overall riding experience.
Price of Bajaj Pulsar N250
With three colors—Racing Red, Caribbean Blue, and Brooklyn Black—this new Pulsar is launched at BDT 339,999 in Bangladesh. Features like a semi-digital meter and a 2-valve engine are already offered by the below 250 cc bikes available in Bangladesh. However, with no direct competitors yet, the N250 has an early advantage to shake the market.
Summing Up
The Bajaj Pulsar N250 sets the stage for a thrilling journey as the Bangladesh roads are now capable of taking the engine capacity up to 375 cc. It can be an attractive choice for motorbike enthusiasts seeking weekend adventures.
