A Visit to a Place of Historical Importance

Last year I, with some of my friends, went to visit Sonargaon which is a place of great historical importance. It is about 25 kilometers east of the capital city. We hired a bus to go there. On the appointed day, we reached Sonargaon at 10.30 a.m. After having breakfast, we went out sight-seeing. Once, Sonargaon was the capital of Isha Khan who was an independent ruler of Bengal. It is our world famous artist Joinul Abedin who took initiatives to preserve these relics of our ancient history. There he also set up a Folk Museum called Lokoshilpo Jadughar. On our tour inside, we saw many decaying old buildings bearing the testimony of the ancient history of Bangla. Sonargaon is too wonderful and impressive to describe. Actually it can be called a vast park. There are rows of numerous trees, mango gardens, flower gardens with various flowers and many ponds in Sonargaon. Various architectural works are preserved here and there. At about 12 a.m. we entered the ‘Lokoshilpo Jadughar’ and enjoyed the relics of folk life-style and culture preserved. After lunch, we went to visit the historic ‘Panch Pirer Majar’ and the ‘Majar of Giasuddin Azam Shah’. Every now and then, we took snaps standing by the famous historic relics. In the meantime, Somebody had their shopping from the ‘Jamdani Polli’ and different stalls of folk things inside it. At around 5 p.m., we left Sonargaon and started our return journey.
