| Tomb of Pari Bibi, Lalbagh Fort |
The capital city Dhaka predominantly was a city of the Mughals. In hundred years of their vigorous rule, successive Governors and princely Viceroys who ruled the province adorned it with many noble monuments in the shape of magnificent palaces mosques, tombs, fortifications and Katras often surrounded with beautifully laid out gardens and pavilions. Among these, a few have survived the ravages of time, aggressive tropical climate of the land and vandal hands of man. But the finest specimen of this period is the Aurangabad Fort, commonly known as Lalbagh Fort, which indeed represents the unfulfilled dream of a Mughal Prince.
I live in old town. Lalbagh Fort (লালবাগ কেল্লা) is near my house, within 2.5 km distance, along with Sadarghat. I went there several times. It's a nice place to pass the evening and to gather knowledge about history. Though I went there several times I never realized the significance of the historical background of this place. Until I start writing about it. After I google it I found the glorious history of Mughal dynasty.
