Timeless beauty of Shital Pati

A three-day exhibition celebrating Bangladesh's iconic Shital Pati craft opened on Thursday at Safiuddin Shilpalay in Dhaka’s Dhanmondi. The exhibition has gained renewed prominence at home and abroad since UNESCO inscribed Sylhet's traditional Shital Pati weaving on its Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity in 2017.
