The well decorated parade with large colour clad replicas of birds and animals based on folk motifs from traditional folklores of Bangladesh is a signature event of Baishakhi celebrations.
Mongol Shobha Jatra is a costly affair, the replicas featured at the colourful parade costs a lot of money. The collection of funds for the event begins with students selling masks, paintings, traditional pottery and several other items which they prepare specially for the Baishakhi celebrations. Anyone can buy the item from the FFA campus premises.
