The Bangladesh Ikebana Association (BIA) made its debut presentation at India House in North Gulshan, showcasing a traditional Ikebana arrangement during a recent cultural event.
The Indira Gandhi Cultural Centre (IGCC) of the High Commission of India in Bangladesh invited the BIA to participate in the program, said a press release on Saturday.
Themed ‘Stripes of Green: A Celebration of Tigers and Our Planet’, the event is aimed at raising awareness about environmental conservation with a particular focus on the Royal Bengal Tiger.
In line with this theme, BIA’s Immediate Past President, Shahinoor Baby, created a captivating Ikebana composition inspired by the natural beauty of the Sundarbans—the homeland of the majestic Royal Bengal Tiger.
The Ikebana corner drew significant attention from attendees, who praised both the artistry and the meaningful message conveyed through the floral display.
Ann Merry George, First Secretary (Culture & Political) at the High Commission of India, honored the BIA team during the event, presenting crests to Masud Karim, Shahinoor Baby and Shormila Yesmin in recognition of their contributions.
The event was followed by dinner and a group photo session.
