Bangladesh, Dhaka

Bangladesh (বাংলাদেশ) is the Eastern neighbour of India. I got a chance to see the city of Dhaka which is the capital and the largest city of Bangladesh.

Huge sized hot jalebis. Iftar Delicacies of Dhaka.
The holy month of Ramazan in the Muslim world is observed with great piety and fervour. The daylong fasting ends at sunset and the faithful break their fasting with the delicacies of IFTARI. The fasting is meant to teach a person patience, humility and sacrifice, to set aside time to ask forgiveness, practice self-restraint, and pray for guidance in the future. Dhaka , particularly its densely populated older section bustles and buzzes with the rush home and the selling and buying of Iftari items as the time for Iftar draws near. Almost every restaurant of the city, from the 5-star hotels to local street outlets prepares their traditional and special Iftari items. Iftari items displayed on open-air stalls and tables with the adjacent gas burner or the stove frying Iftar items on large pans, some other in syrupy liquid and sizzling the other Iftaris over red-hot charcoal fire becomes the iconic Ramazan image of Dhaka.Chawk Bazar in old Dhaka is famous. The entire road in front of Shahi Masjid throbs with the hustle bustle. Jam packed with crowds.

Lalbagh Fort (Bengali: à¦²à¦¾à¦²à¦¬à¦¾à¦— à¦¦à§‚à¦°à§à¦—) (also known as "Fort Aurangabad") is an incomplete Mughal palace fortress at the Buriganga River in the southwestern part of Dhaka, Bangladesh.

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 Bibi Pari (Lady Fairy) died here in 1684 and this led him to consider the fort to be ominous.
