Located
in
the
middle
of
Dhaka
city,
within
the
prosperous
Dhanmondi
residential
area,
Dhanmondi
Lake
is
a
popular
tourist
attraction,
with
lush
green
vegetation,
a
lakeside
walkway,
and
benches
for
visitors
to
sit
and
relax
on.
The
open-air
amphitheater,
Rabindra-Sarobar,
is
also
located
on
the
banks
of
Dhanmondi
Lake
and
is
the
venue
for
concerts,
dramas,
theater
performances,
and
a
variety
of
cultural
programs,
festivals,
and
holiday
celebrations.
The
Dhanmondi
residential
area
was
established
in
1956,
with
the
development
plan
including
the
area
for
the
lake.
Originally
a
channel
of
the
Karwan
Bazar
River,
which
in
turn
is
connected
to
the
Turag
River,
Dhanmondi
Lake
is
fed
by
the
Begunbari
Canal.
The
residential
area
was
developed
specifically
for
the
elite
citizens
of
Dhaka,
but
over
the
decades
Dhanmondi
has
become
a
city
within
a
city
as
it
boasts
all
the
amenities
of
a
modern
city,
including
schools,
hospitals,
malls,
banks,
office
buildings,
and
even
colleges
and
universities.
Coming
to
the
Dhanmondi
area
from
anywhere
in
the
capital
Dhaka,
you
can
easily
reach
Dhanmondi
Lake
by
renting
a
rickshaw.
There
are
many
lavish
food
shops
around
Dhanmondi
Lake.
There
are
several
restaurants,
as
well
as
food
courts
and
tong
shops.
You
will
find
a
lot
of
delicious
food
in
these
restaurants.
The
economic
significance
of
the
area
is
highlighted
by
the
fact
that
every
bank
operating
in
Bangladesh
has
a
branch
in
Dhanmondi.
As
an
important
fact
in
the
history
of
the
country,
the
home
of
Sheikh
Mujibur
Rahman,
the
founding
father
of
Bangladesh,
was
in
Dhanmondi,
and
it
was
there
that
he
and
most
of
his
family
were
assassinated
in
1975.
From
a
social
point
of
view,
Dhanmondi
Lake
is
extremely
popular
as
an
entertainment
venue,
particularly
during
festivals
such
as
Independence
Day,
Eid,
and
Pohela
Baishakh
–
Bengali
New
Year.
At
these
times,
crowds
flock
to
Dhanmondi,
and
the
atmosphere
is
very
festive
in
this
vibrant
neighborhood
of
Dhaka
City.
