NARAIL, Aug 9, 2025 (BSS) - The 101st birth anniversary of legendary artist SM Sultan will be observed in Narail tomorrow (Sunday) with due respect.

Born on August 10, 1924, in Masumdia of Narail, Sultan earned global fame for his philosophical artworks depicting rural life. His works were exhibited internationally before gaining recognition at home.
