In this regard, Zakir Ahmed, the head of Pataprakash, said, “We wanted to connect our folk tradition with the book fair. Therefore, the stalls have been decorated with indigenous materials like jute sticks, Nakshi Kantha, and palm leaves. On the one hand, this is an environmentally friendly initiative, and on the other hand, visitors are getting the opportunity to get acquainted with the traditions of rural Bengal.”

He further said, “Books are not only a medium of knowledge, they are also carriers of culture. Therefore, we have tried to highlight that cultural identity in the design of our stall.”
