It's
a
place
to
feel
the
legends
of
Bangladesh
who
left
for
long
long
ago
and
got
together
there
to
gossip.
It's
a
hindu
religion
focused
place,
though
people
of
all
religions
can
go
there,
can
eat,
hang
out
and
do
enjoy.
Beauty
Boarding (Bengali: বিউটি
বোর্ডিং)
is
a
hotel
and
restaurant
located
in old
Dhaka.
It
is
a
historical
center
of
the
intellectual
gathering
of
Bengali
authors,
poets,
cultural
activists,
and
politicians.
The
place
has
been
widely
commemorated
in
their
arts
and
writings.
Currently,
the
place
is
popular
for
serving
Bengali
food,
though
it
also
serves
other
Indian
food.[1] [2]
The
building
was
originally
a
zamindar
house
and
belonged
to
a
zaminder
named
Shudheer
Das.
Before Partition
of
India in
1947,
the
building
was
the
office
of
the
daily
newspaper Shonar
Bangla.
By
1951,
the
newspaper
moved
its
office
to
Kolkata.
When
the
newspaper
left,
the
building
was
rented
by
a
local
neighbour
Nalini
Mohon
Saha
and
he
started
a
restaurant
and
boarding
house
there.
The
boarding
house
was
named
after
his
eldest
daughter,
Beauty.
Soon
Beauty
Boarding
became
a
popular
place
to
book
traders
from
all
over
the
country
used
to
come
to
Banglabazar,
the
centre
of
book
publishing,
printing
and
stationery
wholesale
market
in
Dhaka.[1]I
