This
place
looking
Very
beautiful.
Aurangzeb's
third
son,
Mughal
prince
Muhammad
Azam,
started
his
work
in
the
fort
during
his
co-rule
(3)
in
Bengal.
He
stayed
in
Bengal
for
6
months.
When
his
father
Aurangzeb
called
him,
the
fort
remained
incomplete.
Shaista
Khan
was
the
then
new
subahdar
and
did
not
complete
the
fort.
In
8,
Shayesta
Khan's
daughter
Iran
Dukhat
Pari
Bibi
died
there.
After
his
death,
he
began
to
think
of
the
fort
as
unfortunate
and
left
the
structure
unfinished.
One
of
the
three
main
parts
of
Lalbagh
fort
is
the
tomb
of
the
fairy
wife.
After
Shaista
Khan
left
Dhaka,
it
lost
its
popularity.
The
main
reason
was
that
the
capital
was
shifted
from
Dhaka
to
Murshidabad.
After
the
completion
of
the
royal
Mughal
period,
the
fort
was
abandoned.
In
6,
the
area
was
replaced
by
Aurangabad,
known
as
Lalbagh,
and
the
fort
became
Lalbagh
Fort.
The
popular
tourist
attraction
of
Fort
Aurangabad,
better
known
as
Lalbagh
Fort,
lies
on
the
banks
of
the
river
Buriganga
in
northwestern
Dhaka
of
Bangladesh.
Like
many
archeological
treasures
in
Bangladesh,
Lalbagh
Fort
has
a
long
and
fascinating
history
and
it
is
always
agreed
that
Lalbagh
Fort
stands
as
a
monument
to
the
unfulfilled
dreams
of
King
Muhammad
Azam.
The
main
purpose
of
Lalbagh
Fort
was
to
provide
a
protective
enclosure
for
the
protection
of
the
buildings
of
the
palace
and,
therefore,
more
palaces
and
forts
than
the
siege
fort.
The
castle
features
many
rectangular
shapes.
The
southern
gate
of
the
fort
is
a
three-storeyed
structure
with
narrow
minarets.
The
other
gates
are
of
a
more
modest
nature.
The
fort
has
many
hidden
passages
and
a
huge
three-domed
rectangular
mosque,
which
is
located
on
the
western
side
of
the
complex.
Some
of
the
other
notable
structures
of
the
fort
complex
are
the
tomb
of
Bibi
Pari
and
the
main
audience
room
and
bathing
place
of
Nawab
Shaista
Khan,
which
now
serves
as
a
museum
residence.
The
mausoleum
is
made
up
of
eight
rooms
around
a
central
square,
containing
the
mortal
body
of
Bibi
Pari.
This
central
room
is
covered
with
octagonal
shaped
domes
that
are
covered
in
bronze,
and
the
walls
are
covered
with
decorative
tile
work
and
marble.
There
are
numerous
rules
throughout
the
beautifully
maintained
gardens
of
Lalbagh
Fort.
The
protective
walls
along
the
eastern
part
of
the
southwest
corner
have
been
strengthened
with
the
earth's
inner
dam.
Inside
this
protective
wall
is
an
underground
house
with
a
decorative
half-domed
entrance,
and
it
is
believed
that
it
can
be
used
as
a
summer
house.
Visitors
to
Bangladesh's
Dhaka
district
will
find
many
interesting
places
to
visit.
Lalbagh
Fort
is
certainly
qualified
as
a
place
of
interest
and
is
well
worth
exploring.
