Lalbagh Fort (also known as "Fort Aurangabad") is situated of the river bank of Buriganga, in the southwestern part of Dhaka, Bangladesh. It’s an incomplete Mughal palace. Construction was commenced in 1678 by Prince Muhammad Azam during his 15-month long vice-royalty of Bengal, but before the work could complete, he was recalled by Aurangzeb. His successor, Shaista Khan, did not complete the work, though he stayed in Dhaka up to 1688. His daughter Iran Dukht nicknamed Pari Bibi (Fairy Lady) died here in 1684 and this led him to consider the fort to be ominous. It is one of the most popular traveling areas of Bangladesh.

Bangladesh

Bangladesh, (Bengali: বাংলাদেশ), formally the People’s Republic of Bangladesh (Bangla: গণপ্রজাতন্ত্রী বাংলাদেশ Gônoprojatontri Bangladesh) is a country in South Asia. It is bordered by India on all sides but for a small border with Burma (Myanmar) to the far southeast and by the Bay of Bengal to the south.
The borders of present-day Bangladesh were established with the partition of Bengal and India in 1947, when the region became East Pakistan, part of the newly formed nation of Pakistan. However, it was separated from the western wing by 1,600 km (994 mi) of Indian Territory. Due to political exclusion, ethnic and linguistic discrimination, and economic neglect by the politically-dominant West Pakistan, popular agitation grew against West Pakistan and led to the Bangladesh Liberation War in 1971, which the Bengali people won with the support of India.
Bangladesh is a parliamentary democracy, with an elected parliament called the ‘Jatiyo Sangshad.’ It is the ninth most populous country and among the most densely populated countries in the world.
