Tin Netar Mazar

A.K. Fazlul Huq (1873-1962), Huseyn Shaheed Suhrawardy (1892-1963), and Khwaja Nazimuddin (1894-1964) — were  brave leaders, who had immense contribution to the pre-liberation politics in the 20th century. These three national leaders served as the Prime Minister of Bengal in British India and played legendary roles in the independence of Bangladesh.
Though, they died on different dates, they were buried under the same roof, which is now known as ‘Tin Netar Mazar’,
Three Leader’s Mausoleum is a monument that commemorates the three pre-liberation Bangladeshi political leaders from Bangladesh, such as A.K. Fazlul Huq, Huseyn Shaheed Suhrawardy and Khawaja Nazimuddin. This monument was built at 1963 and the architects were Masood Ahmed and S.A. Zahiruddin. In Bangla this is known as Tin Netar Mazar (তিন নেতার মাজার).
This is located at the Doyel Chattar of Dhaka university. This place is always uses to be a quiet place .
The mausoleum, surrounded by an abundance of greenery, was established in 1963. It was designed by renowned architects Masood Ahmed and S. A. Zahiruddin. The gorgeous design of the shrine represents a beautiful interpretation of the Islamic architecture
There are two entrances to the mausoleum. A giant monument built in memory of the three national leaders can be sighted from far away. Although, you can find the replications of the tombs of the three leaders under the monument, the original graves are underground. The inner environment is quite different from the outside. The tombs, surrounded by the arches and pillars, created a melancholic atmosphere for the visitors.
The mosque of Shahbaz Khan is just beside this place.
On special days, like the death anniversaries of the three leaders, people come to pay homage. Special prayers are arranged for the occasions.
Location: Dhaka Gate, Suhrawardi Udyan Rd, Dhaka, Bangladesh

Dhakeshwari Temple, Dhaka

Dhakeshwari , meaning ‘Goddess of Dhaka’ is the primary Hindu temple in Bangladesh. In the year 1966 it began to be called Dhakeshwari Jatiya Mandir, the result of a campaign by Bangladeshi Hindu groups who had been demanding official recognition following the declaration of Islam as the state religion in 1988. It is state-owned, giving it the distinction of being Bangladesh’s National Temple.  According to legend Dhakeshwari was built in the 12th century by King Ballal Sen of the Sena dynasty. It is said the king dreamt of a statue of the goddess Durga buried in the jungle and after finding the statue installed it in his temple as Dhakeshwari . The current architectural style of the temple cannot, however, be dated to the 12th century because of the numerous renovations, repairs and rebuildings that have taken place over time. The present temple is two hundred years old and was built by an agent of the East India Company, though quite probably the agent merely renovated the exist
