Lalbagh Fort is the only historical structure of the Mughal era in Bangladesh which combines rough stone, marble stone, and vibrant tiles.

Apart from Lalbagh Fort, no other historical site in Bangladesh has found such a combination. Thousands of local and foreign visitors visit this fort in the Lalbagh neighborhood of Dhaka every day.

Naming of Lalbagh Fort:

If one ponders the origin of the name of the fort, one would inevitably think that Lalbagh Fort derives its name from the location of Lalbagh fort. It is named for the region, so the idea is not wrong. But initially, it went by a completely different name, belying the region's influence.

The construction of Lalbagh Fort began in 1678, according to its history. The then-Mughal Emperor Azam Shah started its construction. Although he only held the position briefly, Azam Shah was the Mughal emperor. However, she quickly began her excellent labor. It should be noted that Azam Shah was the grandson of Shah Jahan, who is highly regarded worldwide for building the Taj Mahal, and the son of the Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb. His father urged him to travel to Delhi a year or so after making the fort to quell the Maratha rebellion there.fter Emperor Azam Shah's death, the fort's construction stopped for a while. The fort's construction was then questionable, as it was eventually completed. Putting an end to all rumors, the then Nawab Shaista Khan reopened the building of Lalbagh Fort after a year of suspension.

A With renewed vigor, work on the fort began. However, the fort's construction stopped once more after Shaista Khan resumed his career and was not resumed for nearly four years thereafter. When Nawab Shaista Khan's daughter Pari Bibi died, he stopped the work on Lalbagh Fort. After Pari Bibi's death, a mockery of the fort is created, and everyone begins to believe. The defense is abandoned. As Pari Bibi was buried inside Lalbagh Fort, the place became known as Pari Bibi Samadhi. Initially clad in gold, the dome that shelters Pari Bibi's tomb is completely covered in copper sheeting.

This structure is called the tomb of Paribibi, the beloved daughter of Mughal subedar Shaista Khan. The nine-room interior of this unusual building in Bangladesh is decorated with marble stones, rough stones, and glazed tiles decorated with colorful flowers and leaves. The roofs of the rooms are made of rough stone. The dome over the central chamber of the main tomb is covered with copper sheets. It measures 20.2 square meters and was built before 1688 AD. Despite this, experts believe that Paribibi's body is not here.

Pari Bibi's tomb is usually visible from one of the three magnificent gates of Lalbagh Fort, which are currently open to the public. In essence, the depiction of Lalbagh Fort, often seen on television, in newspapers, and in publications, represents Pari Bibi's grave.

In the north-west, the Shahi Mosque

Azam Shah built a mosque in the fort before leaving for Delhi. One can be fascinated by the three domes of this mosque.
Prayers are offered together in the mosque. There are not so many historical mosques in Dhaka. Various fountains are scattered around the Lalbagh Fort, though they only work on certain holidays (like Eid). There are tunnels in the fort as well. It was possible to pass through them in the past, but not today. Note that there is no evidence to support tunneling.

It's all hearsay. The former home of Nawab Shaista Khan, who oversaw everything from the Lalbagh Fort, now houses a museum accessible to the general public. A lot can be seen in the museum. One cannot help but be impressed by the numerous hand-painted Mughal paintings found there. Shaista Khan's essentials are stored there. Additionally, there are various historical costumes, weapons, and currency.
