Dance, Drama, Music and Cinema
In Bangladeshi dance the sub continental classical forms occupy a dominating position. Folk- forms and themes along with tribal, folk and social dances are widely practiced. Sautala and Monipuri tribal dances are best known and popular in the country. In popularizing and establishing different forms of dance, dramas, various institutions and academies are playing laudable role.
The three district categories
of Music in Bangladesh
are classical, folk and modern. Classical music-both vocal and instrumental is
an integral part of the tradition and culture of the people of the region. This
art developed mostly during the Turkish rule in this Sub-Himalayan region. Folk
music is suffused with mysticism and folk-lore and through ages was nurtured and
development by the village poets and folk singers. In modern Bengali songs and
music foreign traits have been blended with the traditional forms. The beauty
of the Bangla songs has been accentuated by rich lyrics to which the famous
poets have contributed profusely. The western music has had deep impact on
contemporary music and orchestration. There are two kinds of theatre in Bangladesh. One
is modern theatre and the other is Jatra or Folk theatre. Jatra is a form of
open air rural opera which depicts mythological episodes, love-lore and acts of
heroism and historical events and characters. This form of places is an old
tradition and part of Bangladeshi heritage and hugely popular in rural areas.
Modern plays took root mostly during the Britiish period. The modern theatre
got a momentum after the independence of the country. In both forms of theatre
there are over two hundred amateur groups all over Bangladesh who are involved in
regular stage performances. Winter is the Jatra season but modern theatre
groups are involved in regular stage performance.

Architecture of Bangladesh
The style and pattern of
country’s architecture has undergone changes at different stages of history due
to influence of foreign patterns. The influence of Muslim Architecture on
pre-Muslim indigenous style is vivid. The climate and attitude of ruling upper
class also characterized the development of patterns and architectural designs
in Bangladesh.
In the Mughal era the predominant architectural patterns and designs were the
central domes, arches and tall central entrances. The churches introduced the
European style. Fusion of Mughal and European styles took root at the turn of
the last century. The modern architecture which is common today started in the
1960s
We still have some Mosques
like Chhota sona and Kusumba Mosques which were made in the pre Mughal period
having terracotta art. In the Mughal era strong horizontal parapet was
introduced. A lot of changes which were the typical Mughal style came with this
particular age.
