I went there last month with my cousin and two friends. Lalbug port is a
historical place. Many people come here to see and remember our bright
history. Lalbagh Fort or Fort Aurangabad, an incomplete Mughal palace fortress at Dhaka on the river Buriganga in the
southwestern part of the old city. The construction of the fort was commenced in 1678 AD
by prince muhammad
azam during his 15 month long vice-royalty of Bengal, but before
he could complete the work he was recalled by aurangzeb.
His successor, shaista
khan did not continue the work, though he stayed in Dhaka up
to 1688. His daughter bibi
pari (Lady Fairy) died here in 1684 and this led him to consider
the fort to be ominous. The central area of the fort is occupied by three buildings
- the Diwan-i-Aam and the Hammam on its east, the mosque on the west and
the tomb of Bibi Pari in between the two - in one line, but not at equal
distance. A water channel with fountains at regular interval connect the
three buildings from east to west and two similar channels run from south
to north, one through the middle of the ground in between the Diwan-i-Aam
and the tomb forming a square tank with fountains at the intersection
with the east-west channel, and the other from the water reservoir passing
through the
bottom of the tomb.<<learn more>>
